[SOLVED] Installation Issue - file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found

I encountered an issue during my attempt to install Arch Linux on my computer, which already has a dual boot setup with Windows 11 and Linux Mint. Despite following the installation process correctly and updating the Grub in Linux Mint to include Arch, I encountered the following error when trying to boot into Arch Linux from the Grub menu:

error: file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.

The necessary kernel files, such as vmlinuz-linux, are present in the root partition.

I used a USB drive to arch-chroot /mnt and executed the commands pacman -S linux and pacman -S mkinitcpio in an attempt to resolve the issue. However, the problem persisted. Any ideas of what should i do?

Re: [SOLVED] Installation Issue - file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found

Your bootloader config is wrong. Check it, or just regenerate it if you used grub-mkconfig.

You may need to reinstall it with grub-install as well, if you changed your partition layout after doing that the first time.

It is not. I had already updated Linux grub so that it recognized arch, if I hadn't done arch wouldn't have even appeared in the grub menu. However, I took the precaution of updating it with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg again, but unfortunately, it didn't resolve the issue.

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, output:

Detail that for grub to recognize linux arch when executing the command, the / arch partition must be mounted on the linux mint system.

I can't see how reinstalling GRUB would help either, considering that I'm currently using the GRUB installed by Linux Mint, and I didn't manually install GRUB in Arch. If you still think reinstalling GRUB is the way to go, could you please guide me on the correct steps to take?

Considering that this error is from the bootloader, it's pretty critical info that you're not using Arch's GRUB. That's not something I can help with

Re: [SOLVED] Installation Issue - file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found

Could it be that if I install grub through arch it will work? A while ago, when I was learning how to install arch, I dualbooted windows and arch in a virtual machine and installed grub and os-prober, but grub wasn't recognizing windows

You were probably missing https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fuse3/

Yes, it is a Ubuntu / Linux Mint issue. Grub on Arch will recognize Mint but not the other way round.

I was playing around with the files a bit hoping something would work, and to my surprise something did. When copying the vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img files from the /boot folder of arch to the /boot folder of mint and running the update in grub, arch started to work but in return mint stopped with the errror:

/sbin/init does not exist
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck

so I had to mount the mint / folder in arch and remove the files

Grub on Arch will recognize Mint but not the other way round.

I thought Ubuntu had caught up, but OP is also running a fairly old mint?

I didn't notice. As I wrote above, I can't say if it's wrong or not. I don't know how to read this file.

Sorry if my writing is confusing, I'm having to pass my questions through a translator.

I'm using a newly installed and updated Cinnamon Linux Mint

It says Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon and the implication was to add that stuff to the archlinux entries.

I tried pasting this into grub.cfg and when I started booting arch it appeared as if there was no disk with that UUID

After some time thinking about how to solve this I decided to test installing grub on arch and it worked perfectly, I don't know why mint doesn't boot arch but arch boots mint. my plan is to gradually migrate to arch so I don't see a problem using grub from it

Thank you to everyone who commented on the thread to help me

The Arch kernels dropped a certain compatibility option in the EFI loader ~a year ago, which is implemented in "newer GRUB" and not in "older GRUB" like present in Mint IIRC
