[SOLVED] vmlinux-linux not found

Hi

ran pacman -Syu and closed the lid on the laptop...

Now it wont boot, displaying the vmlinuz-linux not found

booted from a arch usb, mounted, chrooted.

Tried:
pacman -Syu (didn't fix it)
pacman -S linux (didn't fix it)
pacman -S mkinitcpio (did'nt fix it)
mkinitcpio (didn't fix it)

when mount /dev/sda2 /mnt there is no vmlinuz-linux in /boot
when mount /dev/sda2 /mnt and /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot then vmlinuz-linux exists...

This lead me to look if somehow it (grub?) cant find the file.
So I suspect it cant, because:

blkid however says that my /dev/sda1:
LABEL_FATBOOT="NO_LABEL" LABEL="NO_LABEL" (and no PARTLABEL shown)
I tried to set LABEL_FATBOOT to boot and BOOT, but no success.

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] vmlinux-linux not found

The partition label won't matter, but you're likely booting from the root device, not the boot device? Are there other files in /boot on /dev/sda2 ?
=> chroot, do *not* mount /dev/sda1 to /boot, but re-install the kernel. reboot. works?

I thought I already tried that, but now it helped.

Thanks a lot
