[SOLVED] Can't boot (452: out of range pointer: 0x86cb7020)

adro · 2022-10-05 18:43:28

Hi there,

I recently come across this problem after trying to update linux-zen-headers (switches system into read-only mode)

After rebooting I tried to boot with zen, normal and lts kernels but gives me this out of range pointer.

Using my Arch USB, i chrooted and rebuilt grub, reinstalled kernels (still can't update zen headers) and grub but it didn't solve the problem.

I don't know if this has to do with the recent grub update problem, It didn't give me any problem until now.

https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/error-o … e/22109/12
Tried to find any solution on this post but no luck either.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using Garuda? Why are you trying to update linux-zen-headers in isolation https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported ? What exact commands are you using when booting the Arch USB and trying to repair and reinstall the kernels?

adro · 2022-10-05 20:05:18

I'm using Arch but this is the only similar post I came across.

I am trying to update the headers because it is the only package that gives me problems when updating, the linux-zen package installed fine.

These are the commands that i use:

mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt -o subvol=@ (I have timeshift installed) (No recent backup worth recovering)
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/boot
arch-chroot /mnt

and then the usual...

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

pacman -S linux linux-headers

From the garuda thread you're running into https://archlinux.org/news/grub-bootloa … ibilities/ ?

adro · 2022-10-06 04:17:36

When trying to do grub-install ... It gives me this error:

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

I have an EFI folder inside boot, no idea why it can't find it.

Edit: I mounted the efi partiton into /boot/EFI and it fixed it! Then the grub-mkconfig and successfully booted.

But still the linux-zen-headers locks my system when trying to update.

Edit2: after trying to update definitely break my system and now it gives me a kernel panic. Trying to chroot with my usb gives me this error now:
chroot: failed to run command /bin/bash: Input/output error

chroot or arch-chroot?
Is there a /proc and /sys on the chroot target?

ldd /mnt/bin/bash

You may have to look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SMART

arch-chroot

Yes, there is. But those are empty, don't know if it is supposed to contain something..

arch-chroot is supposed to populate (bind mount) them, so that's fine and you do have a /bin/bash and it resolves all libraries.

You may have to look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SMART

adro · 2022-10-06 07:51:34

I can't see anything suspicious doing smartctl -i /dev/nvme0n1. So I don't know if there's anything else you want me to look in this wiki page.

I also don't understand this, im having this error:

chroot: failed to run command /bin/bash: Input/output error

when trying to arch-chroot /mnt

Look into dmesg whether there're IO errors logged after the failed chroot and post the output of "sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1"

I don't see any error on dmesg after trying to chroot

Here's the output of smartctl:

Please don't post oversized images (replace it w/ a link) nor pictures of text (you can use the tip in the 1st link below to post text from the console), but the drive looks indeed ok.

Still the problem is gonna be some FS error, and likely corrupted files:

LC_ALL=C pacman --sysroot /mnt -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' > /tmp/pacman.sanity
cat /tmp/pacman.sanity | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

"glibc: no mtree file" sounds like a problem for sure.

pacman --sysroot /mnt -S glibc

Though you may want to re-install all packages, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … dependency?

Seems like mtab is missing:

error: could not open file: /etc/mtab: No such file or directory

Thanks for the help seth, I'm not gonna be at home until next week so I won't have acces to the computer.
When I get home I'll read your reply.

I did this but failed.

Then I added --overwrite and I was able to arch-chroot! Rebuilt the grub config and booted normally.

But I'm scared to update/uninstall the linux-zen-headers package if it will break my system again.. Any tips for dealing with this type of problem?

V1del · 2022-10-12 12:06:10

the linux-zen-headers package did not cause this issue. File it of as a one time freak incident. The tips for dealing with this problem are as presented in this thread, this should not at all be a common occurrence. "Something" corrupted glibc on your system. Unless you can systematically reproduce this via some operation then this will not be a general issue. To minimize the risk make sure you are using known good mirrors that sync properly: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful the lower the score column in that list the better the mirror, generally speaking.

This is a filesystem/drive issue.
Could be a too aggressive trimming strategy or issues w/ the filesystem (any btrfs or f2fs over there?) or a power loss during the update.
Installing a linux *header* package itself will not cause any direct harm (if it fails, dkms would fail to build modules, but that's it)

Edit: F5 …

Just updated all packages and seems like everything is working now.

I disabled this mirror https://mirror.cloroformo.org/archlinux as seems like it has 0% completion.

Thanks everyone who helped!!
