EOS entry in systemd-boot missing, impossible to reinstall kernel with arch-chroot

djr · November 14, 2023, 3:22pm

Hi everyone,

At first I want to thank the EOS team for the work done with this distro !

I installed EOS on my disk for several weeks now and worked perfectly until the last update I made where the EOS entry in my bootloader disappeared. I only have the Windows entry.
I first thought it was just a systemd-boot config problem and applied what I found on this and this wiki pages, but I get an error when I execute resintall-kernels.
I scraped internet to find a solution in order to reinstall kernels and boot again on EOS but I didn’t find anything yet…

First things first, some info of my partitions :

lsblk -o name,type,size,PTTYPE,FSTYPE

nvme0n1 disk 1.8T
├─nvme0n1p1 part 100G
├─nvme0n1p2 part 517.7G
├─nvme0n1p3 part 512M
├─nvme0n1p4 part 5G
├─nvme0n1p5 part 20G
├─nvme0n1p6 part 20G
├─nvme0n1p7 part 5G
├─nvme0n1p8 part 5G
├─nvme0n1p9 part 200G
├─nvme0n1p11 part 37.3G
├─nvme0n1p12 part 29.8G
├─nvme0n1p13 part 2.8G
├─nvme0n1p14 part 4.7G
├─nvme0n1p15 part 4.7G
├─nvme0n1p16 part 18.6G
├─nvme0n1p17 part 18.6G
├─nvme0n1p18 part 1.9G
├─nvme0n1p19 part 1.9G
├─nvme0n1p20 part 868.7G
│ └─mycryptdevice crypt 868.7G
└─nvme0n1p21 part 954M

I have two Linux installs on my disk and did different partitions for security reasons (followed the ANSSI rules).
The partitions of EOS are from nvme0n1p11 to nvme0n1p21.

When I boot in live USB :

I mounted all the partitions in /mnt (sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p11 /mnt and so on for all the others)
I switched in arch-chroot sudo arch-chroot /mnt

The content of the /efi partition is :

find /efi

It’s been a while I had some play with dracut but, if I am not mistaken, perhaps you have added ‘plymouth’ module to some conf. file in /etc/dracut.d ? If so, you could remove it and rebuild the initrds again.

Thanks for your answer !
I think that’s was it, I had two conf files in /etc/dracut.conf.d/
and one containing a reference to plymouth

I moved it away and then de command was working fine without exit status !

It was really easy, thanks for your help !
