[SOLVED]How to load the kernel?

qaderzade · 2014-12-12 16:13:49

Hi all

First I should say that I found the same as my question in the internet bot there were no answer can solve my problem too.

I just installed my Arch on my new laptop and I can say I am new.
after all installations and reboot I have grub menu but when I want to boot I face with below error

"error no such device" ad4103....."
"loading linux core repo kernel"
"error: no such partition"
"loading initial ramdisk"
"error: you need to load the kernel first"

I have no access to command line but grub command line.

How can I get rid of this error?

I don't know the answer, but I know you always have access to the regular command line. Just boot from the Arch Linux installation disc (or flash drive) again, mount your hard drive partitions, and use the "arch-chroot" command. Now you can work on and fix any problems.

Thanks for reply drcouzelis
I am afraid to lose all my installations if I put the Arch Linux installation disc again.

You won't unless you tell it to destroy your data.
If it's not working anyway, what have you got to lose?

Use a liveCD/liveUSB and check what your partition name is with 'lsblk -f'.

wow it works
I just forgot to enter "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
My problem is solved.
Thanks again.

uh...post your fstab as well as your bootloader configuration. I believe your initramfs is loaded from /boot - if you have that on a separate partition you need to make sure that a) it's specified correctly with the correct device name or UUID in fstab and that b) grub picked up the correct location of your initramfs and kernel when running grub-mkconfig (I'm assuming you did run grub-mkconfig before rebooting). Hopefully I'm not too off base here, but your problem lies somewhere in that area.

Thanks cris9288
My problem was forgotten to enter "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
Now it is solved.
