Hi everyone,
I’m new to EndeavourOS (and Arch to be honest). I did my installation via the GUI. All worked perfectly until today after I upgraded my linux kernel to the latest for arch (the last update I did on my system was 5 days ago). I’m using mkinitcpio to build images. When I rebooted my system, ramdisk couldn’t find my device :
So, I tried several solutions (https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/cant-boot-after-upgrading-endeavouros/41767, https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/system-no-longer-boot-after-update/36270, https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/boot-failing-device-not-found/35743 and https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot/2022/12/). Unfortunately, all these methods didn’t work.
My system is (almost) up to date:
Here’s my disk partitions :
Before open encrypt partition and mount point :
after :
After a sudo arch-chroot /mnt, here’s my lsblk

My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf :
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(usbhid xhci_hcd)
MODULES=()
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=()
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No RAID, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup assembles a mdadm array with an encrypted root file system.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm_udev' for more information on RAID devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block mdadm_udev encrypt filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf block lvm2 filesystems fsck)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr and fsck hooks.
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont numlock block filesystems fsck)
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont lvm2 block filesystems fsck)
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, zstd compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="zstd"
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()
# MODULES_DECOMPRESS
# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).

Have a nice day and Happy New Year!
