Arch fails to boot as root drive is not found [SOLVED]

shayan99999 · 2023-05-10 14:15:50

The error occurs at boot. Here's a video of the error: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cVx8C5 … eA_5y/view
After the error, there is just a black screen.

I used a Arch Recovery USB to boot into the system. I used the fsck command on the root partition but it didn't solve the error.

Do not use /dev/nvme or similar as identifiers in your bootloader configuration nor in your /etc/fstab they are unstable and can switch depending on whether nvme0 or nvme1 is detected first and thus which of the two gets the appropriate device first. Switch to using UUIDsor PARTUUIDs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Persis … ice_naming

Remove quiet from the kernel command line if you want to see what's actually happening.

What is it supposed to do at that point?

I only have 1 nvme drive in the laptop. It has 3 partitions. The /dev/nvme0n1p3 being the root partition and /dev/nvme0n1p2 being the boot partition.

The only drive not found is the bogus resume reference which is most likely NOT the root device and then there's a problem w/ the GUI session and some service depending on it fails.

Reboot the system w/ ctrl+alt+del (press it frenetically), then boot the multi-user.target, 2nd link below.
There post the system journal for the previous boot,

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Here is an image from the Arch recovery usb proving nvme0n1p3 is the root partition: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aX-ae9 … sp=sharing
Also, I tried that command there and the you can see the error in the image.
I can't even get to a terminal interface without using the recovery usb

You obviously didn't establish an internet connection on the installation iso.
Stop posting images, boot the multi-user.target and post the journal.
Whether or not nvme0n1p3 is the root partition is irrelevant in this context, it just means that you're either trying to use the root partition as hibernation swap or that you're using a swap file, but the error just says that you've configure the resume device wrongly and is irrelevant to the "booting" failure which is very most likely just a problem w/ your graphical session.

I connected to the internet. This was the output: http://0x0.st/HZFt.txt

Bogus resume stanza:
"resume=/nvme0n1p3"

You're using sddm, your current active and relevant xorg log will generally be under /var/log/Xorg.0.log, also please post that as text https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

shayan99999 · 2023-05-10 16:47:54

X1 server runs fine, but you're using optimus-manager, are running on the nvidia chip and all outputs are on the intel one.
Remove optimus-manager and all configs it generated in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

V1del · 2023-05-10 16:58:58

Rebuild your optimus-manager package against the newest python, or since this is a turing card and there not actually existing a need to opt for it, remove optimus-manager and switch to PRIME render offloading instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … er_offload

Thanks. That worked. The same error still shows when booting the system but it manages to load the desktop. Can I now install optimus manager again?

seth · 2023-05-10 17:05:50

You can, the question is whether you want.
I'd be w/ V1del: "no you don't".

Edit: and please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
