Efi mount and systemd-remount-fs.service failed

netcrawler · April 8, 2023, 11:32pm

Eeeeeeeugh. I just wanted to update my kernel.

This is what happens when I do, efi mount failed and so did systemd-remount-fs. I’m next to a complete beginner with this stuff, I arch-chrooted into it and rolled back to the previous kernel version and that fixed it, but running pacman -Syu again breaks it and I can’t boot.

I use systemd boot, I’m not even sure where to start.

Would anyone be willing to work with me to fix this? I’d greatly appreciate it.

Try choosing the fallback entry from the boot menu.

netcrawler · April 8, 2023, 11:46pm

Same thing. Saw you on several of the threads on which I was researching this issue haha.

dalto · April 8, 2023, 11:48pm

In that case, you will need to boot off the ISO, use arch-chroot as described in the EOS wiki and then run dracut-rebuild.

Share the output of that command here.

[root@EndeavourOS /]# dracut-rebuild and dracut rebuilt both gave
dracut: Cannot find module directory /lib/modules/6.2.2-arch1-1/
dracut: and --no-kernel was not specified

If the correct usage of the command is what I wrote here then here is that output

[root@EndeavourOS /]# dracut /boot/initramfs-6.2.2-arch1-1

Try reinstalling your kernel. pacman -S linux

netcrawler · April 9, 2023, 12:10am

Afraid I’ve already tried that, linux-headers too.

dalto · April 9, 2023, 12:12am

Can you share the output of pacman -Q | grep -E 'dracut|mkinitcpio'

[root@EndeavourOS /]# pacman -Q | grep -E 'dracut|mkinitcpio'
dracut 056-2
mkinitcpio 35.2-1
mkinitcpio-busybox 1.35.0-1

Can you explain how you got into that scenario? Did you try to convert to mkinitcpio?

As far as I’m conscious of I never tried to do anything to mkinitcpio other than try to regenerate the config when I had a different boot issue or something along those lines. As far as I can recall I haven’t really done anything to it. What is the scenario?

We use dracut, not mkinitcpio. It looks like you installed mkinitcpio, which removed kernel-install-for-dracut.

That causes your initrams to be generated in the wrong place which is why you are having issues.

To fix this, first mount your efi partition to the correct location in the chroot. It should be mounted /efi, not /boot/efi.

Next pacman -S kernel-install-for-dracut which will want you to remove mkinitcpio.

After that, you need to go into the /efi directory, and clean out the old kernels and initrds.

Lastly, run reinstall-kernels

Here’s where I’m at now. Feel like this may not even be related, maybe I borked my installation somewhere here. what do you think?
