[Solved] cant boot after install vmlinuz-linuz not found

Ferdinand866 · 2013-05-24 20:46:34

well i try to instal 3 times in a row following the archwiki and i get the same error.
i try to ls -R | grep linuz-linux in all partitions of arch and i dont found the kernel.
My try was in my secon hard drive (sdb) and dont work. I think that was for too complex then i leave one hdd to simplify the instalation.
that was kernel of 5/01/2013 dual downloaded of brainfork.me mirror.(i cant hadle grub in my first time for my fault).
the seconf try dont work at all in my memory stick wont boot that was the 03/01/2013 iso.
my 3rd try was on 04/1/2013 a doit better until grub sends me a message of that cannot found that kernel.

teorically the kernel is installed in the system, or created by gcc? I dont found that in any wiki or thread here .

sry by my fault but i hope that seeing that much videos of arch working and doing the same thing dont work from me is annoying.

PD : strange reasons make mkinitpio -p linux dont work in chrooted system (like arch wiki tell us).

You'll need to post some output to help us help you. For starters:

-Are all your partitions mounted under /mnt as the wiki teaches?
-Did you generate your /etc/fstab while chrooted?
-What is the output of `mkinitcpio -p linux` while chrooted?

Ferdinand866 · 2013-05-24 21:20:21

all questions yes and mkinitcpio -p linux is not there (file not found the mkinitcpio itself then i copy the file from /bin or /sbin to /mnt/bin to solve this and still gettin error from vmlinuz-linux ) and yes i have trouble in the first or second instalation but in last i mount first my / and then my /boot and /home
sda5 and sda1, sda3 respectively.

the base system installation must leave vmlinuz-linux somewhere?

OK, so you've mounted your partitions in the correct order.
/
then
/boot
then /home

You've run the pacstrap script to install the system to them, and you've chrooted into the new location, right? Did you see any errors there? When the linux package gets installed, mkinitcpio should automatically run; you shouldn't need to manually do it.

When you are inside the chroot, what is the output of:

ls -l /boot

And

df -h

And

which mkinitcpio

Post the output of

pacman -r /mnt -Qs "^linux$|^mkinitcpio$|^bash$"

please.

i gpt no errors from main installations-
ls -l boot

http://pastebin.com/qayZjB4V

df -h

http://pastebin.com/FkH5yud7

whitch mkinitchpio :

/usr/bin/mkinitcpio

the arch wiki text say to do this after changes timezone hostname etc chrooted

who suppose do the pacman -r line?

in the kernel of 05/01/2013 i cant find the netcfg command to do net config or dir /etc/network.d where examples to config may exists is this correct ?

OK. Based on the output from your `ls -l boot` you do indeed have the needed kernel images/files for example: /boot/vmlinuz-linux so I don't understand why you say that can't find that file. It is there!

Based on this output, you have correctly mounted your partitions.

Not sure what you about about `pacman -r`?

Correct. Netcfg has been deprecated. Use netctl now. As such, there is no /etc/network.d on the filesystem; it has been replaced by /etc/netctl. No one has updated the wiki article with a wireless netctl example.

In the future, you don't have to use pastebin. Simply use code tags in your post.

Thanks Graysky a lot for the help and i found the error i made a big big mistake in one on the commands to install , i can figure how do , but the exhaustion helps to do this clase of mistakes ,
the error was installing the base system.

the line :
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel

i wrote
pacstrap /mnt base-devel

(a lot of packages have to be missed) the listing of /boot i send u i repair the files (another error) from my iso running image.

PD: my system continues no booting at all i cant figure how fight whit Grub or which mode, again thanks a lot this distro is not for me .

Sry Gravsky the Pacman -r ask was not for u was for WorMzy.

that line only i have the bash version and i cant figure how that helps whit my problem.
