[Never Solved] After update, archlinux doesn't boot anymore

giowck · 2011-10-09 16:28:25

Hi, due a recent update (kernel related i think), during boot, the screen turns black and the monitor says 'no signal', right after udev init...

Only me having this problem?

ps. I found that while booting if i type random stuff on my keyboard, like CTRL+B CTRL+V etc. very fast, the system boots... LOL, but why?

My first thought as I read your first paragraph was that the mkinitcpio script didn't work right, as I had that probelm not to long ago.

I would suggest using a live CD and rerunning mkinitcpio to produce new ram images. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … activation

thanks anyway

I have this problem too. I get the message "MKINITCPIO Failed - System may not boot" and it doesn't. As of now, I'm using my Ubuntu Live CD. Anyone please help!?

Have you tried running mkinitcpio again?

I had the problem multiple times until I found the solution elsewhere on the forum. The command:

mkinitcpio -b /mnt -p linux

solved the problem. Giving all the correct parameters to mkinitcpio did wonders! I made a note just in case this happens again.

Thanks for responding!

Please mark the thread [SOLVED] by editing your first post. Also consider adding something like "mkinitcpio issue", it will be more clear and easier to find to other people

after some updates, it works for me. Solved by itself.

giowck · 2011-10-13 16:56:36

No, it is back.

This is very very annoying... i have to reset my pc 10 times before actually it boots....

giowck · 2011-10-15 14:23:22

Bought a new computer. Now its gone
