[SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

hello for discussion https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=273358, i wanted to install linux-lts kernel to check if problem persists.My system has UEFI enabled , how should i proceed about doing above. The folders which i have in my /boot are

[musicarch@musicArch ~]$ cd /boot
[musicarch@musicArch boot]$ ls
EFI           grub                              initramfs-linux-lts.img
FSCK0000.REC  initramfs-linux-fallback.img      intel-ucode.img
FSCK0001.REC  initramfs-linux.img               vmlinuz-linux
FSCK0002.REC  initramfs-linux-lts-fallback.img  vmlinuz-linux-lts
[musicarch@musicArch boot]$ cd EFI/
[musicarch@musicArch EFI]$ ls
Grub
[musicarch@musicArch EFI]$ cd Grub/
[musicarch@musicArch Grub]$ ls
grubx64.efi
[musicarch@musicArch Grub]$

as i try to load lts kernel , with installing only lts and lts & headers packages my boot get stuck at 

loading Linux linux-lts....
loading initial ramdisk..

thank you

See the grub wiki page. The file you mentioned is for systemd-boot.

i did read that but i have problem understanding that all the files of current kernel are in EFI folder and also lts files are there , should i make two different folder for both of them and mkconfig the grub .

please explain .

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

The kernel seems to load and tries to load the initramfs

df -h

Do you get more output when editing the kernel commandline in grub and replace the "quiet" parameter w/ "nomodeset"?

.i am not able to boot from lts kernel as i dont have any systemd configured to it cause i should add a configuration file as per i read. there is value parameter for the root drive of the system with "blkid" with arguments which makes system identify the drive. i wanted to know how should i manage that to do.

starting from grub i have 3 options 1.Arch linux  2advance option for arch linux 3.uefi setting . if i select advance and then select the lts kernel i dont get anything other than two lines i mentioned in my first post.

df -h output

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

WHat do you want w/ systemd? The /boot partition looks like you're using grub??

Edit: also the lts kernel *is* loaded, the boot just stalls (?) there so remove the "quit" paramter and add "nomodeset" instead.

as Article suggested i did go in grub and edited linux-lts with "e". i removed quite and typed nomodeset. after editing i press ctrl + x to boot . next screen i have is 

Loding Linux linux-lts...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error : file '/initramfs-linux-lts.img' not found

press any key to continue.....

press key doesnt change anything, have to poweroff the machine and restart again.

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

@nahush, I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that you need to create the "initramfs-linux-lts" files i.e. the inital ramdisk that is used to get the kernel up and running. From the image you pasted above you already (and correctly) have the "linux" kernal and matching ramdisk installed and also the "linux-lts" kernel. Just are missing the ramdisk for lts kernel.

I would suggest you run the following to build the initalramdisk for the LTS-Kernel:-

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-lts

Then rebuild your grub menu entrys:-

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I'm pretty confident that now you should be able to reboot into the Linux-LTS kernel without any hitches.

Good luck!

I did  try your suggestions the result is 

[musicarch@musicArch ~]$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-lts
[sudo] password for musicarch: 
==> WARNING: Preset file `/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lts.preset' is empty or does not contain any presets.

after this i tried to boot from lts kernal but still nothing , after booting from it

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

You need to fix the preset warning, it "should" be fixed by explicitly reinstalling the linux-lts package, or at the minimum a .pacnew file allocated. Check your /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ directory.

FWIW since this might well be related to the xfce problem and this and since you have a history of having a broken drive. 

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda #Or whatever /dev/sdX your main drive is

might be useful to determine whether you should even bother with this in the first place.

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

Good the drive is healthy, as for the preset file, then remove it and reinstall the linux-lts package after doing so or just create it yourself, you can just copy the working linux example and adjust it relevantly 

ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts"

PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')

#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
default_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img"
#default_options=""

#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback-lts.img"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"

might even want to omit and remove the "fallback" entry from the PRESETS line to save space on the target /boot partition.

i did make changes as you suggested , still no change only showing two lines then nothing.i did saw your comment on a post where person asked about having the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf file . and you did tell him to have that file.but i do not have that file. or any file for arch-lts.conf. can it be the problem .please tell.

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

No, as established multiple times in this thread you are running GRUB and not systemd-boot so loader, entries or arch-lts.conf is completely irrelevant. Your GRUB is configured correctly, you are simply missing /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img which will be created with a proper preset file. After creating the preset file did you rerun mkinitcpio -P ? Post exactly what you did and the exact name and path and contents  of the file you created after following my post.

IT sounds weird that you are this confused about which bootloader you are running, this is a conscious decision you'd do and makes me feel like you followed a third party tutorial on how to install Arch without understanding the contents, this isn't really a good way to use Arch and you'll just stumble from one "unresolvable" issue to the next.

ok , sorry for my confusion , i did consciously made the decision of using grub , but when i was researching for answer on this i stumbled upon your post regarding that , i thought i may have misunderstood the things at start , i will have a good look on this  will educate myself.

as for my question, first i deleted linux-lts.preset file. then i reinstalled linux-lts kernel, generated grub configuration , and rebooted computer. After reading the post , again made the changes in same order, but after genrating grub i regenerated preset file with -p but i got an error mentioned below. as with all the thing i did in terminal .

#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"

Re: [SOLVED]How to add /boot/entries/arch-lts.conf file as i am using UEFI

Now you actually have a initramfs file (the mkinitcpio doesn't work because you're not running it as root, but it doesn't matter the hook on post-install ran correctly). You should be able to boot into the LTS kernel or get a different error message.
