Initramfs not found on boot after system update

General system Newbie

I noticed that linux/linux-lts haven’t installed properly, so I arch-chrooted into with a live usb.
Tried to do a system update, and have errors, reinstall them and throws this error:

[root@EndeavourOS /]# yay -S linux linux-lts

This is the problem. That is a pretty interesting error.

Can you share the output of:

pacman -Q | grep -E "dracut|grub"
3

I changed to amdgpu recently

[root@EndeavourOS /]# pacman -Q | grep -E "dracut|grub"
dracut 059-5
eos-dracut 1.3-1
grub 2:2.12-1
grub-customizer 5.2.4-1
4

Can you share the output of cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/*

Output this:

[root@EndeavourOS /]# cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/*
add_dracutmodules+=" amdgpu "
omit_dracutmodules+=" radeon "
force_drivers+=" amdgpu "
omit_dracutmodules+=" network cifs nfs nbd brltty "
compress="zstd"

Remove these two lines. Those aren’t modules. They are drivers.

That is your issue.
