As stated, I have an issue with timing out when trying to load into my operating system.
Error shown on boot:
[Time] Timed out waiting for /dev/gpt-auto-root
EndeavourOS Installation Type
- BTRFS with SWAP Partition
- Dracut / systemd-boot
Original Root Cause
Performing update using yay
Moving from Linux version 6.9.6 to 6.9.7
I did not realize my laptop was not plugged in and battery died during the dracut hooks
First Issue Found and Steps Taken
I initially was unable to boot and got the following error:
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot/efi
Steps done to this point after first failure:
- Able to get into system via arch-chroot with bootable thumbdrive
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the 6.9.7 kernel
- Cleaned up the 6.9.6 boot entries
- Re-ran dracut-rebuild and reinstall-kernels
At this point I’m unsure of what to do, I think I’ve got everything remounted properly for the reinstall-kernels and my google-fu is not doing well on finding the solution for the /dev/gpt-auto-root
Details below for some of the most asked pieces:

I think I’m just missing one tiny thing, but I’m at the point that I need a push in the right direction.
