Re: [RESOLVED] Systemd-boot help?

That line is gone.  It now goes from

Mounting /home...

to

[FAILED]Failed to mount /home

So I suppose it is a little different now.

Run this:

blkid

Make sure the UUID for dev6 is the same as the one in /etc/fstab

Also make sure that the type says ext4 as well. If not post the output of blkid for us to see.

Re: [RESOLVED] Systemd-boot help?

sda5 & 6 are both of type ext4.  Their UUID's match fstab.  I'm going to check that the root PARTUUID matches arch.conf

EDIT: Scratch that, not going to check arch.conf.  Not sure where it went after reinstalling kernel.

If it's not there, then ESP is not mounted on /boot

Add this to fstab:

UUID=YOURUUIDHERE                                  /boot           vfat            rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro    0 2

After doing this, you need to install the kernel again with pacman -S linux

Is that the UUID for my boot partition?

Re: [RESOLVED] Systemd-boot help?

No dice.  Although I am still noticing an error that flashes just briefly at bootup.  After a couple dozen green "ok's" I get a

[FALIED] Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems

Any thoughts on this?

Re: [RESOLVED] Systemd-boot help?

Also I went into the system journal and found a couple things:

Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1)

EXT4-fs (sda5): Unrecognized mount option "ext4" or missing value

That one occurred three times in a row.

Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems

The error mentioned above.

/usr/bin/mount for / exited with exit status 32

Failed to mount /home

Dependency failed for Local File Systems

emergency.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /bin/plymouth: No such file or directory

That was everything that showed up in red.

Re: [RESOLVED] Systemd-boot help?

SOLVED!

Like most things computer related, it boiled down to a very minute detail.  In my fstab, I had "ext4" listed after the pass options (rw,relatime....).  Now each entry in my fstab reads

UUID=fo0bArBaz        /dir        ext4 (or vfat for boot part)        rw,relatime...    0 0

Thanks for your help everyone!
