Hello everyone. I’ve been getting an error during boot ever since I installed, and since I reinstalled and moved /home to a new NVMe. During boot, the 1st line I see is:
[ 3.663622] Initramfs unpacking failed: ZSTD-compressed data is corrupt.
I found a solution to use mknitcpio to regenerate a new image but we don’t have mkinitcpio anymore and when I try to install it it conflicts with garuda-dracut-support. I’m not sure how to proceed. I suspect the problem is more than OS deep because I cant boot the arch installer iso either. It gives me a similar error and doesn’t even boot. Here is my inxi.
