mkinitcpio error on kernel install

i reinstalled the kernel through pacman, and i got the following error

   
    ==> Creating zstd-compressed initcpio image: '/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img'
    ==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.
    error: command failed to execute correctly
   

so i checked

    mkinitcpio --verbose -P

and it shows;


    ==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
    ==> Using default configuration file: '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf'
      -> -v -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
    ==> ERROR: Invalid option -g -- '/boot/initramfs-linux.img' must be writable
    ==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'fallback'
    ==> Using default configuration file: '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf'
      -> -v -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -g /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect
    ==> ERROR: Invalid option -g -- '/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img' must be writable
   

and i couldn't find any info on this "not writable" error,
so any help would be appreciated.

Re: mkinitcpio error on kernel install

Do you have enough diskspace on /boot, do you have a /boot partition? What output do you get from 

lsblk -f
df -h /boot
ls -l /boot

(and post outputs wrapped in code and not i tags)

Re: mkinitcpio error on kernel install

so i checked

    

mkinitcpio --verbose -P

As root?
What if you re-install the kernel "--verbose --debug"? Do you get lots of output you could share for the context?

i ran the previous command as root, and then i reinstalled the kernel with the --verbose and --debug parameters;

Re: mkinitcpio error on kernel install

So "must be writable" was just down to the unprivileged mkinitcpio execution?
Boost is a 1.86 - rebuild https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dwarfs

Re: mkinitcpio error on kernel install

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.
