[SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

Hi,
I'm running Arch on an Asus Zenbook with a 4.9-11-1-ARCH kernel
Each time I try to upgrade to 4.10.x and reboot, the DM won't boot. It only shows a white underscore blinking.
I did ctrl+alt+F2 and did a "X -configure"
Here's the output

X.Org X Server 1.19.3

I can't stay on 4.9 because it's unsupported by newest nvidia and virtualbox packages.
It's got integrated intel GPU and a Gefore 940MX

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

The log says you've booted kernel 4.9.11, but the corresponding modules aren't found => it very much smells like your /boot partition isn't mounted when you update the kernel, so the installed and booted kernel get out of sync.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

Something is really wrong
I deleted all the images from /boot dir and reinstalled the kernel
Still the uname -r shows that I'm running an old kernel...

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

As seth pointed out, this looks very much like your /boot partition isn't mounted when you are updating your kernel.

Can you post the outputs of the following...

lsblk
mount
cat /etc/fstab

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

mount /boot then reinstall the linux package then add an entry in the fstab for /boot also three months between updates is a long time.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

Mounted /dev/sdb1 to /boot and updated the kernel
Now when I try to boot the laptop it won't accept my unlock key for the drive

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

chroot in and post the system's pacman.log  See List_of_applications#Pastebin_clients to paste from the command line.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

Chrooted from the gparted live iso and managed to fix the fstab that I've messed up.
I'm up and running on 4.10
Thank you all!

Re: [SOLVED] Arch kernel 4.10 messed up dm

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just updated and have a similar problem with a bit of a twist. Pacman is out of sync with the kernel, but I can't mount my boot partition because it's vfat. I assume it's because of something to do with this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=28437 However, I've rebooted several times. Also my display and network devices aren't being found which makes things more difficult. It seems like if I could get pacman in sync with the kernel I would be OK. Does anyone know how I might do that? Thanks.

Apologies! I just downgraded the kernel. Sorry!

1. Don't necrobump especially a solved thread, apologies or not: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … bumping.22

2. Your /boot was not mounted when you upgraded the kernel.
