Cant boot from any kernel other than linux-zen

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Hello, I am having freezing issues on the linux-zen kernel but when I try to go to another kernel I get an error and garuda doesn't start.

the Error is:

ERROR: resume: hibernation device 'UUID=8cf91ab4-99a5-49bc-ab33-e460d1dffcc7' not found

Can you share the output of ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d

3

the output for ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d is

linux-cacule.preset linux-lts.preset linux.preset linux-zen.preset

4

Try running:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-cacule
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-lts
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

The see if you can boot into the other kernels.

I still got the same error.

That looks normal.

Can we see the output of lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size,mountpoint,uuid and the contents of the file /etc/fstab

It looks like you have multiple efi partitions.

Can we the output of sudo efibootmgr -v

Here's the output, I forgot to mention but I'm dual booting.

  • Do you know the reason, or anything else that may help understand the real problem?
  • Did you create grub.cfg after kernel rebuilding?
  • Did you use Windows and they updated? (this is the most probable source of this problem I suspect).
  • Can you check your BIOS for changed settings? (secure-boot, fast-boot, AHCI, etc)
  • Have you any suspicions that your drive is failing, or not recognized at boot?

After you gather answers for the above, post them and also this command’s output in terminal:

sudo sed -n '/menuentry.*{/,/}/p' /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep -E "zen|cacule|linux-lts"

  1. I don't know. I did raid two of my ssds to use as one before installing garuda on one. The SSD then showed up seemingly properly on Linux but not on windows.
  2. I don't think I created grub.cfg or do you mean update-grub?
  3. Windows did update but I think I had this problem beforehand. How do I fix it if windows was the culprit?
  4. My bios did have fastboot enabled but disabling it did nothing.
  5. I don't think my drive is failing.

I just realized linux-cacule does actually work now... but Linux and Linux-lts still don't work. I still have the freezing on cacule

Would disabling hibernation help?

13

No, the hibernation message is not your issue. The real problem is this:

mount: /new_root: can't find UUID=1fa83916-5cb9-4be5-bfb8-fc2cbb944ca8.

It seems like the kernel can't find your root device which is strange since the other kernels can.

Is it bad to install kernels with "sudo pacman -S (name of kernel)"?

15

It should be OK. Can we see the output of

pacman -Q | grep "^linux"

and

pacman -Q | grep "dkms"
16

For pacman -Q | grep "^linux"

linux 5.13.9.arch1-1
linux-api-headers 5.12.3-1
linux-cacule 5.13.9-2
linux-cacule-headers 5.13.9-2
linux-firmware 20210716.b7c134f-1
linux-lts 5.10.56-1
linux-zen 5.13.9.zen1-1
linux-zen-headers 5.13.9.zen1-1

and for pacman -Q | grep "dkms"

dkms 2.8.4-1
nvidia-dkms 470.57.02-3
v4l2loopback-dc-dkms 1:1.8.0-1
virtualbox-host-dkms 6.1.26-1

You are missing the headers for linux and linux-lts

Try installing linux-lts-headers and linux-headers

I did that but the problem is still there.

Try this

sudo dkms autoinstall
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-lts

Did that but the problem still persists.
