[SOLVED] Problems after update to kernel 4.3.3-2

alejandrocq · 2016-01-13 16:19:49

Hi guys,

Yesterday I updated my system and I noticed that the packages linux and linux-firmware were updated succesfully. Today I tried to boot my system and I found out that Arch was freezing trying to launch gdm. So, I disabled gdm via chroot and I can access to a command promt, but I'm not able to launch GNOME and also I don't have connection to Internet (ip link only shows lo interface).

I have a MSI GE60 Laptop with Intel Graphics and a NVIDIA GTX 765M. I think it must be a problem with drivers or something, but I don't know how to fix it. I tried with lspci to find my ethernet card and wifi card and they are there, so I don't know what's happening.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Should I uninstall nvidia drivers and see what happens?

Well, I have just noticed some weird things. See this: http://imgur.com/a/IgY2I

mkinitcpio builds 4.3.3-2 image, but i'm running linux 4.2.5-1 after restart. How can be this possible? I think this is the problem I got. I have a separated /boot partition.

Thanks again in advance.

Yeah bootloader not loading kernel from the /boot on your fstab but some ghosty /boot you created somehow (and that's not necessarily a seperate partition, probably the /boot on your /).

I have seen that my /etc/fstab file is empty. How can I fix this mess? Maybe should I use genfstab or something?

Yeah or just add an entry of the /boot partition to it yourself.

How did you install Arch?

Well, I have fixed it, but it's strange that arch is not considering the /boot partition. Instead of that, on any upgrade of the kernel, the system is installing it on /boot on my /. I did this:

1) mount /dev/sdb6 /boot // sdb6 it's my boot partition
2) I reinstalled the linux 4.3.3-2 package that I found on pacman's cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg)
3) mkinitcpio -p linux // this time it built the image on my /dev/sdb6 partition

Everything is working fine for the moment, but anyway, I think I should add my /boot partition to /etc/fstab or something (genfstab is not found on my system).

I installed it following the steps on the wiki, and I'm sure I mounted the partitions correctly. I don't know but there is something wrong in my installation.

Did you miss this step?

Maybe I didn't that, because that explain the problem I think. Is there any way to use genfstab now?

It's packaged as part of the arch-install-scripts package, so install that, mount everything that you want in your fstab in the right place and run it.

If that's an external USB stick, then you'll need some option to make fstab aware it's not always there, but I can't remember what the option is.

Thanks a lot, fstab it's now solved too. I'm sure I had to forgot that command during the installation.

Thank you a lot guys, it's now solved.
