Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

Hello there, this is my first post on Arch forums!

I installed the default linux kernel when I first installed Arch and now i've been trying to get both the LTS and the regular kernel to show up in Grub but I just cant get the LTS to show up.

I browsed the first few pages of google results but with no success.

I've got the linux-lts and linux-lts-headers packages installed.

The kernel is listed in /boot as follows

[irets@archlinux ~]$ ls /boot/
bin                               mnt
boot                              opt
dev                               proc
etc                               root
grub                              run
home                              sbin
initramfs-linux-fallback.img      srv
initramfs-linux-lts-fallback.img  sys
initramfs-linux-lts.img           tmp
initramfs-linux.img               usr
lib                               var
lib64                             vmlinuz-linux
lost+found                        vmlinuz-linux-lts

Also grub-mkconfig also finds it as follows:

[irets@archlinux ~]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

Looks like it's in the grub.cfg, both as the main entry and in the Advanced options. What do expect to see?

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

Hi 2ManyDogs,
I'm expecting to see the LTS kernel under Advanced Options in Grub and the default Kernel as the first boot entry.
Currently Grub only lists the linux kernel.

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

Look again -- in the grub.cfg you posted, the main entry loads the lts kernel. It doesn't list it by name, but that's what it loads. 

menuentry 'Arch Linux' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262' {
	load_video
	set gfxpayload=keep
	insmod gzio
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ext2
	set root='hd1,msdos1'
	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-ieee1275='ieee1275//disk@0,msdos1' --hint-bios=hd1,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos1  45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262
	else
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262
	fi
	echo	'Loading Linux linux-lts ...'
	linux	/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262 rw  quiet
	echo	'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	initrd	/initramfs-linux-lts.img
}

The first entry in the Advanced options is also the lts kernel.

submenu 'Advanced options for Arch Linux' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262' {
menuentry 'Arch Linux, with Linux linux-lts' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-linux-lts-advanced-45b1a8e3-5fb4-48d8-89f0-532c516a8262' {

What happens if you load the default entry? What kernel is running?

(edit to add) -- is there more than one Linux install on this machine?

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

I'm currently using the default entry and it boots the linux kernel.
Under Advanced options in Grub it only lists the default kernel also.
The output of uname -a:

Linux archlinux 4.20.6-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 31 08:22:01 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is starting to seem a bit odd...

EDIT:
There's only one but I might have 2x the system files because I messed up something the first time.
The other folders in /boot are folders that dont do anything because my "/" is mounted elsewhere.
Probably the only important things under /boot are the kernels and Grub.

Then the grub.cfg you posted is not the grub.cfg that is being used by grub. Do you have another /boot directory somewhere? Do you have a separate /boot partition, and if so, was it mounted when you ran grub-mkconfig?

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

I'm pretty sure it was mounted but don't take my word for it.
I installed Arch on this computer months ago so It's kinda hard to recall.
This is the output of lsblk:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0  22.4G  0 disk 
sdb      8:16   0 931.5G  0 disk 
|-sdb1   8:17   0  37.3G  0 part /boot
|-sdb2   8:18   0 888.3G  0 part /home
`-sdb3   8:19   0     6G  0 part [SWAP]

I'm going to use the "/boot" partition also as a data storage so that's why it's so large in size.
I just noticed that there is a folder named "boot" also under "/" and it has grub.cfg also.
This is it's contents:

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

That grub.cfg is the same as your first post. You also don't have a partition mounted at /. What guide did you use when you installed Arch?

Please post the output of these commands:

cat /etc/fstab
ls /
ls /boot

Using /boot as a place for data storage is not a great idea.

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

Oh my bad, I'm sipping on some liqour while typing and seems like my thinking is a bit impaired at the moment so I'll be extra careful from now on and triple check my text before posting... sorry.
My system files are located under the "/home" partition and by "/" partition I meant "/home".

Contents of fstab:

[irets@archlinux /]$ cat /etc/fstab

lib64                             vmlinuz-linux-lts

I used several guides because If something wasn't explained clearly enough on one guide I checked the step from another Finnish guide.
But the main guide that I used was from Arch Wiki.
This is all because of my a bit sluggish English and the understanding of it.
Seems like the kernels are listed under / and also under the /boot partition.

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

They both have the same UUID apparently but different mount points.
Now this is getting interesting.
What should I do about this?


Please, spoonfeed me if possible.

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

umount /boot, remove that nonsense entry from your fstab, re-run mkinitcpio & grub-mkconfig, tidy up / (grub, vmlinuz*, initramfs*)

Re: Grub doesn't detect linux-lts kernel

I will keep updating this post as I progress.
Updating in progress : Yes

Alright, I've done the following:

I added # in front of the nonsense fstab entry and now my lsblk looks like this:

[irets@archlinux ~]$ lsblk

Pacman mkinitcpio'd the packages for me
