Not able to boot since kernel updates anymore

You don’t have a /boot partition.

From within the chroot, can you try reinstalling mkinitcpio and libarchive

pacman -S libarchive mkinitcpio

I do ?

[root@EndeavourOS liveuser]# df -h |grep mnt
/dev/mapper/CryptoLUKS  452G   79G  350G  19% /mnt
/dev/nvme0n1p1          300M   14M  286M   5% /mnt/boot/efi

And

[root@EndeavourOS liveuser]# fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1

/dev/nvme0n1p3 964734407 1000206899  35472493  16.9G Linux filesystem

/dev/nvme0n1p3 is swap btw, also maybe I mix up everything in my brain here and I may not have any /boot partition, sorry if it’s the case

Ok I’m gonna try that right now !

Thanks again =)

That is your efi partition which is mounted at /boot/efi. That isn’t involved in this problem really except for the fact that you previously had it mounted in the wrong spot.

Thanks a lot for explanation, these are very essential.

It didn’t do too I think :

I’m sure I messed up somewhere, I guess something in my hard drive got corrupted when I suspended my laptop (happened one time by the past) because my / is encrypted, I don’t know really, as this post says :

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=262209
and this one :

Maybe it seems there is something that cannot be repaired in this/my case, I’m gonna run a big rsync to backup /home /etc, maybe /opt and /srv then reinstall ╮(^_^)╭

At least we tried ! Thanks so much @dalto, thank you @s4ndm4n too ! I’m gonna try to not make you guys lose more time on me, I’ll manage by now \ø/

Cheers !

It’s odd that vmlinuz files can be written there though.

Maybe something is wrong with zstd or so. Can you try reinstalling that in chroot?

That did it! ! ! !! ! ! !

I then reinstall linux linux-lts linux-zen with pacman -S, recreated grub.cfg with grub-mkconfig and grub-install like in this tutorial (UEFI part).

Thank you @moson <3

How did this started you think ? This is so strange L(・o・)」

Don’t know. Something went wrong with a previous update when upgrading zstd it seems (last pkg update was 2021-12-29). Maybe the pacman log reveals something. :man_shrugging:
