[SOLVED] Weird behaviour after upgrading linux kernel

toni · 2013-11-14 20:37:06

Every time I perform a:

$sudo pacman -Syu

and then reboot, arch does not boot up. Then I must enter in the console using an arch live cd and then in the console I must mount all my partitions (LVM) and then do an arch-chrooting. FInally I must do a:

#pacman -S linux linux-headers

once I do it, my arch boots up again.

Why is it happening each time I upgrade the kernel?

I must say that I have LVM partition. My disk structure is as follows (I do not know if it is the problem):

sdb      8:16   0 298,1G  0 disk 
├─sdb1   8:17   0     2M  0 part -> Grub bios partition
├─sdb2   8:18   0     1G  0 part -> boot partition
└─sdb3   8:19   0 297,1G  0 part -> LVM
  ├─VolGroup00-lvolswap
       254:0    0     8G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
  ├─VolGroup00-lvolhome
       254:1    0    80G  0 lvm  /home
  ├─VolGroup00-lvolroot
       254:2    0    20G  0 lvm  /
  └─VolGroup00-lvolvar
       254:3    0    12G  0 lvm  /var

Is you /boot mounted when you upgrade the kernel? It doesn't sound like it is.

Many thanks, the problem was that boot was not mounted when performing pacman -Syu but I do not understand why when generating images it does not crashes if boot partition is not mounted. Could you explain me, please?

Why would it crash? The images will just be placed in the spot where your /boot should be mounted. When you actually do mount /boot, it is over those images...
