[Solved] Error message upon reboot after Arch-Linux install

Hi Arch- Linux users,

I'm having a bit of an issue when it comes to the final step of getting ArchLinux installed upon reboot. I believe it has something to do with my PARTUUID number which I changed manually in the # nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf :options. I've verified that I hadn't accidentally misspelled the PARTUUID number also. The following error message generated:

[0.00000] [Firmware Bug] :TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update micronod to version : 0x22 (or later)
::running early hook [udev]

You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.

I'm not sure what's going on being a Linux newbie and all but any help and insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you upgraded your microcode? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode

Re: [Solved] Error message upon reboot after Arch-Linux install

The UUID is prone to misspellings if you haven't copy/pasted that beast.

It would be worth a shot to replace the UUID entry in the arch.conf by LABEL (or PARTLABEL), like

options root=LABEL=YOURROOTLABEL rw

and make it a bit more human-friendly.

You will need to assign the matching label, of course. Note that LABEL is a filesystem label, to be set by a filesystem utility (depending on the filesystem you use); whereas PARTLABEL is a label for the partition, to be set by tools like gdisk.

Re: [Solved] Error message upon reboot after Arch-Linux install

After verifying that I've used the correct PARTUUID # it was to my realization that there must be something missing in my boot directory. Navigating to the /boot I found zero existent of initrd  /initramfs-linux.img neccessary for Microde updates. I  ended up repeating the boot process deleting the existent boot directory and adding the said image to the first initrd t of the bootloader config file.
After I did that i proceeded with the usual steps and had no issues with booting to Archlogin.

Thanks for the help everyone.
