[SOLVED] Nvidia modules not found after upgrading to new kernel

Artrix · 2024-07-20 23:36:57

Hello,

I've recently been having troubles with my arch install after running pacman -Syu which upgraded my kernel from arch 6.9.9.arch1-1 to 6.9.10.arch1-1 (I updated linux-headers along with it). After I upgraded, I get the following in my log from the post install

After a reboot, my system would have a black screen and a blinking cursor. Later on, I downgraded back to 6.9.9, ran mkinitcpio -p linux with no problems, rebooted my system, and was greeted with an unresponsive emergency shell screen. (boot logs says failed to mount /boot because of a vfat error)

My mkinitcpio version is 39.2-2 if that helps.

Any tips to fix this would be greatly appreciated

What module package do you have installed?

Artrix · 2024-07-21 06:01:59

I believe it’s 550 or 555, i’ll double check this in the morning.

So you have an old, beta version from a 3rd party package. You shouldn't be surprised you're having problems.

Forget the -tkg stuff, switch to normal Arch packages.

Artrix · 2024-07-21 20:36:44

How would i do that?

pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-utils ?

Also if its relevant i'm using wayland and hyprland

seth · 2024-07-21 20:52:36

"pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-utils", otherwise you're running risk to condict a partial update and installing an nvidia driver incompatible w/ your kernel.

Artrix · 2024-07-21 21:38:18

Fixed after uninstalling all the nvidia-tkg packages and installing the official ones. Thanks!

Artrix · 2024-07-27 22:03:25

Hello, i’m reopening this because I’ve run into the exact same issue when upgrading to 6.10.1. Although this time it doesn’t seem to be related to my gpu. The kernel builds fine with no errors but still fails so mount /boot. Seems to happen every time I update.

I have updated linux-headers, and linux and ensured they’re both running the same version. I’ve also ran pacman-Syyuu several times to make sure everything is up to date.

If it’s important I am using BTRFS.

if anyone can help I will be extremely grateful.

seth · 2024-07-28 06:55:14

Your /boot partition is most likely vfat and the usual way to get to this point is to boot a kernel other than the installed one because the kernel was installed into the wrong location
(Either the boot partition while you're actually booting from the root partition or the /boot mountpoint while the boot partition wasn't mounted)

From the rescue shell (doing this from the iso is pointless) run

uname -a
cat /proc/cmdline

Edit:

If it’s important I am using BTRFS.

But not for the boot partition, are you? Are you mounting/booting some snapshot?

I’ve also ran pacman-Syyuu several times to make sure everything is up to date.

"man pacman", read up what the second "y" and "u" do and then STOP DOING THAT UNLESS YOU REALLY - and I mean **REALLY** - HAVE TO!

As I said in the original post, I cannot access the emergency shell. It just restarts my keyboard (the lights flash off and then back on) on every key press.

I am not using any kind of snapshot so no.

Regardless of if I did the usual Syu or Syyuu I get the same output. It was just to stress that everything is up to date. I will do some research on the differences and heed your warning.

But I am fairly sure that my versions are synced because if I run mkinitcpio -p linux I get a successful build and it logs out the correct version of the kernel.

seth · 2024-07-28 08:18:21

Boot the install iso, mount the installation into /mnt and check

pacman --root=/mnt -Qs kernel
file /mnt/boot/vmlinuz*

then mount the boot partition into /mnt/boot and again

file /mnt/boot/vmlinuz*

Only one of the file invocations should print anything itfp (except for "no such file or directory") and kernel file version and the versions listed by pacman -Qs need to align

Can you boot the fallback initramfs?

Artrix · 2024-07-28 19:24:41

Heres my output

I haven't tried, I will figure out to do that asap. I have been chrooting using the arch iso to get into my system thus far.

seth · 2024-07-28 19:27:04

You cannot "mount /mnt/boot" from the iso, you'll have to (likely, idk where you boot partition is) "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot"
You can try to chroot into the system but depending on how broken it is, that might no longer be possible.

Artrix · 2024-07-28 20:52:32

Chrooting has been working totally fine for me. Since I'm using BTRFS, I am chrooting into my system using the commands on the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot … g_on_Btrfs and it works totally fine. I am able to install things and run pacman -Syu as I said before.

seth · 2024-07-28 21:09:19

Well, check the installation from the chroot then.
Also inspect the bootloader config for what you're actually booting (to make sure it's not a snapshot)

Artrix · 2024-07-30 00:09:24

I don't think I have any snapshots in the first place as this is a 2 week old install and I haven't ran any intentional backups. Also my @.snapshots directory is empty as shown Here (I loaded the drive on my windows installation)

seth · 2024-07-30 06:35:26

Ok, did you check the version of the kernels in the /boot partition?

Artrix · 2024-08-03 17:30:15

How would I do that?

The question is what kernel you're maybe booting there.

Artrix · 2024-08-04 18:39:09

/mnt/boot/vmlinuz-linux: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 6.10.2-arch1-1 (linux@archlinux) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 27 Jul 2024 16:49:55 +0000, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0XC, Normal VGA

is my output for file /mnt/boot/vmlinuz*

seth · 2024-08-04 20:43:17

Before or after mounting /mnt/boot?

seth wrote:

This is regardless of snapshots

Btw. I assume only the vfat /boot mount in your fstab breaks the boot process? If you comment that, can you boot the system? (Cause then you can just ask "uname -a" for the booting kernel and "cat /proc/cmdline" for what you're booting)

Artrix · 2024-08-04 22:01:46

Because im using BTRFS, I have to mount /boot first because otherwise it doesn't exist (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot … g_on_Btrfs) .

I ran file /mnt/boot/vmlinuz* outside the chroot and file /boot/vmlinuz* inside the chroot and got the same output.

Where is the bootloader config? im assuming its /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
