Hey everyone first time posting here, I couldn’t find anyone else having this issue, but after I select EndevourOS from the grub menu I get this
Starting version 249.4-2-arch
ERROR: device 'UUID=...' not found. Skipping fsck.
mount: new_root: can't find UUID='same as above'.
You are not being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
then I get a prompt as root user. This is a Dell XPS 13 that my work sent me if you need any more information let me know.
Here are some things you could check.
Boot into your live usb, launch the file manager, mount your system partition and navigate to /etc/fstab. Make sure you have matching UUID for your partitions in fstab and the ones you get from:
lsblk -fs
If they match, you could arch-chroot to your install (https://discovery.endeavouros.com/?s=chroot) using the instructions corresponding to your install mode.
Once in chroot run the following commands:
pacman -Syu
mkinitcpio -P
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When done, type exit to leave chroot.
If you get any error messages, post them here.
Reboot and see if that has solved the issue.
here is what I got from those
mkinitcpio -P
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> ERROR: specified kernel image does not exist: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'fallback'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect
==> ERROR: specified kernel image does not exist: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
/usr/bin/grub-mkconfig: line 261: /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: No such file or directory
Something seems to have gone wrong in your installation.
You could try the following. Hopefully it will get us closer to a resolution of the issue.
In chroot:
pacman -S linux linux-headers
mkinitcpio -p linux
pacman -S grub
grub-install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
If you get any error messages, please post them back here again.
/boot/EFI or /boot/efi?This install is UEFI or MBR?
UEFI
Do you have a folder or a partition which looks like this
/boot/EFIor/boot/efi?
I have a /boot/efi
Did that, got no errors, got a few warning regarding Possibly misssing firmware
Those warnings are normal.
Cross fingers and reboot!
same issue, does it have anything to do with trying to mount /new_root? sorry if thats a dumb question, I haven’t installed linux on a machine in a few years due to working with macs for work
Frankly, I am not sure what might be the reason now. Could you please boot up your live usb and post some more info. Hopefully that would give some clue to somebody looking in here.
efibootmgr -v
lsblk -fs
sudo parted -l
And then in the file manager, mount your system partition and navigate to these two files and post their contents:
/etc/fstab
/etc/default/grub
/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Did you disable secure boot?

Yes, I don’t have issues booting into the flash drive or even getting past the UEFI screen its when it goes to start the shell
Is it possible to get the following link to this comand
inxi -Faz --no-host | eos-sendlog
From the emergency shell or from the live usb?
If you can get into TTY and you have network i think will work or from live usb.
