@pebcak, thanks for your reply.
I chrooted & ran mkinitcpio -P , exited rebooted to the same kernel panic.
Then, again chrooted to reinstall the 2 kernels, exited/rebooted & got the exactly the same kernel panic?
The machine ran win7 for many hours yesterday (after the kernel panic). It is an EOS install problem.
I hope I don’t have to reinstall, I’ve spent a couple of days setting the system up…
(Now I remember what I’d forgotten about the rolling release package management system & why I’ve lost so many linux skills whilst using MX for the past >4.5 years. lol )
As I continue to age & my faculties deteriorate I am drawn ever closer to the Apple OS retirement home… lol
Can you please show the content of /boot. All of it please. recursive, with timestamps and file sizes.
Also, please share fdisk -l information for that Linux drive as well as df output.
I think I’ll give EndeavourOS a miss. One of my first pacman updates caused GRUB to fail, making me to the arch-chroot routine.
Then an update or two later & I’m frozen out of my boot via a kernel panic. Which has cost me a lot of time in research & I don’t want to invest anymore time in it. I’ve had more trouble in a few days with EOS than I had in 4.5 + years of MX.
So I think I’ll go back to MX & just put up with having to do a reinstall every 4 years or so due to its semi-rolling release nature.
