[SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

I try to install to my (old) laptop. After a week and a lot of retries to install it looks like I did something wrong with the boorloader (systemd-boot) configuration. I do not understand it very good.
Here are my config files:
/boot/loader/loader.conf

default arch
timeout 4
editor 0

/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

title Arch Linux
efi /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=de8df90a-1a0a-4083-b958-8746323245cd rw

I would like to show the complete kernel panic. I don't know other than to type everything over from the screen. Suggestions anyone?
I have not written the kernel panic down yet so I will go and post the first few lines it in 15 minutes. Take out the trash first.

First line error:

[0.146910] ACPI Error: [\_PR_.CPU0._PPC] Namespace loop failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170728/psargs-364)

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

Don't try acpi=off if it isn't clear that that's the issue (a few ACPI errors are completely normal) something I notice is that you have

efi /vmlinuz-linux

while it should be

linux /vmlinuz-linux

or to be more correct, you'd have to prefix the initrd value with options if you intend to use the efi prefix.

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

I did try it in loader.conf and arch.conf. It did not change the outcomeg
I think you mean somewhere else? Where?

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

That's 64bit capable, and the installation worked? you will likely have to post more of that panic I'm afraid.

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

The processor in that system should be okay.  It is a 64 bit Celeron.  Not the most impressive chip ever, but low power, and x64.

Is there a log file I can copy/upload? I will try to search the partitions. on any .log file.

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

The first thing after the ACPI is:
kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)

Googling gave me a lot of GRUB errors... strange. More later on.

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

As V1del has already pointed out, your bootloader config isn't correct. Read the systemd-boot wiki page.

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

Is that partuuid correct? What's the output of

lsblk -f

(can be from a live system)

Re: [SOLVED] installation > kernel panic

... it should be

linux /vmlinuz-linux

That was alle. The ACPI Errors are still there. But I get a prompt and no kernel panic. B-)

On this machine there is no need for Windows. So no efi optioneel is needed here.

I have read it over and over and have been trying to change those conf files and did more than 5 complete reinstalls today. And got a lot beter at it. B-) Cheese.
