System Nuked itself after upgrade (Missing Boot Image)

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello all,
I have a shaky internet connection so I haven't ran an upgrade in a while. When I did it today, my GRUB entry disappeared and I couldn't boot. After much troubleshooting, I found out that /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ was empty and /boot was missing my initramfs .img files, as well as my vmlinuz file.
I tried to chroot and run sudo pacman -S linux-zen filesystem but that didn't do anything.
I eventually got my computer to boot by backing up my old .img files and linux-zen.preset file from a snapshot and using them to generate new initramfs files.
From what I can tell, the pacman hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/90-mkinitpcio-install.hook ran, but simply didn't do anything.
When I run pacman -S linux, I don't see a linux.preset file appear where it should be either.
I'm not sure if this is right but perhaps the kernel is missing the pkgbase? I read that while troubleshooting, but I'm still a bit new to this.

My computer is still running the old kernel and I have no way of knowing if the next upgrade will wipe my initramfs files again.

Here's a pastebin of garuda-inxi if that helps.

Thank you for your time!

Please paste the garuda-inxi directly in the forum posting itself like so, with three tildes on top and bottom to look like so:

pastebin.com doesn't work very well, breaks pastes, and not everyone can see those, because pastebin.com is rightfully blocked from many places. I personally even block it from my home network.

Nice PC!

Have you tried just booting into the install medium and repairing Grub with the Garuda program?

Thank you! I bought an AMD GPU because I was sick of NVIDIA driver issues :slight_smile:
I gave that a shot and my bootloader was reinstalled for sure. I had to reassign it in my BIOS but still when I run

sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

I don’t see that pacman runs mkinitcpio. Here’s the full output:

I tried this on my laptop which also runs Garuda and it generated on there just fine.

EDIT: This thread has some similarities to mine, we had pretty much the same problem

Quite strange.

What happens when you run

mkinitcpio -P

as root?

Can you post your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ?

7

I try to get into aspects of which I do not have adequate competence, but this is my idea.
Is it possible that this recent commit, where several scripts, including mkinitcpio-install converge in mkinitcpio causes the problem?

If so, in my opinion we need to modify our hook

From /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/mkinitcpio-install to
/usr/share/libalpm/scripts/mkinitcpio install

Seems so, but at the same time, it doesn’t yet look like it’s actually in the Arch Linux official repos, testing maybe?
My systems, that are currently up-to-date, still have mkinitcpio-install and mkinitcpio-remove scripts individually.

Definitely would need to promptly, immediately, checking old vs new, to insure a seamless crossover.

You're definitely right, the commit is after the latest package update...
Sometimes when I start with an idea in my head I stop thinking :wink:

Well, for the mkinitcpio-{install,remove} hook issue, I have a merge-request in:

Even still, it’s a good catch, and we get an early path to keep this from being a Garuda problem. :slight_smile:

Can you also now provide the output you get from:

Yes, here is the output.

It only works because I manually backed up the linux-zen.preset file and placed it back after the upgrade, and it only builds for 6.0.2 instead of 6.0.7. I manually passed the -k flag to try and build from 6.0.7, but when i tried to boot that image my computer locked. Heres an output of ls /usr/lib/modules:

drwxr-xr-x - root 17 Oct 19:41  .old
drwxr-xr-x - root  9 Nov 21:54  6.0.2-zen1-1-zen
drwxr-xr-x - root  9 Nov 22:47  6.0.7-arch1-1
drwxr-xr-x - root  9 Nov 23:56  6.0.7-zen1-1-zen

and /etc/mkinitcpio.d:

λ ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/

Here's what that looks like:

Thank you for the merge request, it really is amazing how fast you all are.

Hmm. So, not the mkinitcpio upstream coming issue, just wanted to make sure on that front. And I really shouldn't be making MR's on too low of caffienation levels, but I got everything squared away, finally.

I'm looking at the rest of the details you've provided and thinking on what's going on.

Hi, after fighting with this half a day I found that the real problem is that the garuda-hooks-runner script never actually calls the Mkinitcpio-Install function

Yeah, I’m looking into this as well, but how are you determining that this is not happening?

19

Any possible relation with the last commit?

I’m thinking so. But, I’m looking at it… not seeing an issue, so far… But, obviously there is, if it’s not running mkinitcpio-install.

21

Actually... I think I'm finding the issue now....
