Firstly, I’ve noticed that many people are having trouble after installing the new Endeavour ISO. I didn’t use the new ISO in any form so it shouldn’t be related to this.
I’m currently having Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) errors after repartitioning my system to dual boot another Linux distro. Endeavour was the only OS on my system’s only disk until yesterday, which was when I decided to reduce its size to make space for another distro to test (Artix). Thus, there was no GRUB menu until yesterday. This error occurs on the top-level entry for Endeavour.
I’ve tried running sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg but to no avail. However, my system still boots up fine through fallback initramfs within the advanced settings. I could just use that, but I would prefer solving this too, just in case. The following is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which might be slightly wonky as I’ve done some bad edits in the past:
