Boot to black, no tty, after (kernel) update

[Broccoleader]

[root@EndeavourOS /]# findmnt --real
TARGET
SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/sda2 ext4 rw,relatime

sda2 is my normal root.
I’m currently arch-chrooting into it.

You didn’t mount your EFI partition. That needs to be mounted.

Do you need to chroot, can you boot the fallback entry?

[Broccoleader]

I tried the fallback but it would keep saying my password was incorrect.
I’m on an AZERTY keyboard and I did compensate for QWERTY usage, even checked my password visibly in the login slot but it still wouldn’t budge.

In that case, make sure your mount your EFI partition in the chroot.

You can follow the instructions in the wiki:

I have the same issue. How do I downgrade mkinitcpio?

[dalto]

First, make sure you are actually using both mkinitcpio and kernel-install-mkinitcpio. If you are, keep reading the below.

How do I downgrade mkinitcpio?

You shouldn’t have to at this point. Make sure kernel-install-mkinitcpio is at the latest version(1.3-3). Then run sudo reinstall-kernels

If you don’t have it, you probably have a different issue than this one.

Don’t install it. They will break things.
