[SOLVED] System stuck at boot 'Loading Linux linux ...'

guasap209 · 2024-11-02 23:23:25

ls -lR /mnt/boot

Printed out files in that directory

LC_ALL=C pacman --root /mnt -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v backup

Printed a lot of stuff about installed packages.

After adding the kernel parameters and booting, it printed stuff about drives after "Loding Linux" appeared.

Yeah, I know that it prints "stuff", the question is what that "stuff" is.
Post the outputs of the two commands

Edit

ls -lR /mnt/boot > /tmp/stuff
LC_ALL=C pacman --root /mnt -Qkk 2>&1 | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v backup  >> /tmp/stuff
cat /tmp/stuff | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Yeah, I should have figured that out. https://0x0.st/XGWG.txt

That's 21MB full of errors…
What happened to that system??

Anyway, none of the deviations looks like it's going to break the boot process - but you'll likely not get a graphical target out of that.
Can you boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below)? In doubt along "nomodeset" and also remove the "quiet" parameter.

guasap209 · 2024-11-03 15:52:35

Can you boot the multi-user.target?

No

Edit: forgot to mention, when adding the nomodeset parameter, some text appears above "Loading Linux linux". It says: "Booting a command list". I don't know if that matters.

Try to install and boot the LTS kernel.

guasap209 · 2024-11-03 21:54:15

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but after installing limux-lts and running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg there aren't any new entries to boot the new kernel. I'm probably doing something wrong but I con't figure it out.

this hints to writing to the wrong grub.cfg - likely by not/bad/wrong ESP mount or shadowing
from arch install media: mount every partition to its own mountpoint (create required folders in /mnt) and scan them all for grub.cfg - likely you will find at least two or more

guasap209 · 2024-11-04 15:21:19

I've found two: one is in /boot/grub. The other one is in
/nix/store/33w6fk9v0gjcwj0h2w3d803yjga8zv6w-nixpkgs/nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/misc/grub/pvgrub_image/configs.

seth · 2024-11-04 15:50:43

ls /mnt/boot
cat /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

guasap209 · 2024-11-04 16:20:09

ls /mnt/boot

outputs

EFI  grub  vmlinuz-linux

.

cat /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

sanity check: are you using VANILLA arch - or do you use NixOS?

guasap209 · 2024-11-04 17:28:17

Arch, I don't know why I even installed the package manager.

seth · 2024-11-04 20:57:40

You didn't install the LTS kernel into that path and also there's no initramfs.
Boot the install iso, mount sda3 int /mnt, "arch-chroot /mnt"

pacman -S linux-lts 2>&1 | tee /tmp/pacman.log
cat /tmp/pacman.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

guasap209 · 2024-11-04 21:15:57

Pacman gives me an error when I install the lts kernel it didn't give before.

seth · 2024-11-04 21:45:06

cat: write error: No space left on device

df -h

/dev/sda1 99M 99M 3.0K 100% /boot

Why have you mounted sda1 into /boot?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2206025

guasap209 · 2024-11-04 22:01:24

Because I had it already mounted there from when I was sesrching for the grub.cfg.

seth · 2024-11-05 08:38:55

You are not booting from a boot partition.
Don't mount that there, re-install the LTS kernel, post an update on the commands from #35 and #39

guasap209 · 2024-11-05 16:15:24

#35:

ls /mnt/boot

gives

efi   initramfs-linux.img           initramfs-linux-lts.img           initramfs-linux-zen.img           vmlinuz-linux      vmlinuz-linux-zen
grub  initramfs-linux-fallback.img  initramfs-linux-lts-fallback.img  initramfs-linux-fallback.img  vmlinuz-linux-lts

The grub.cfg: http://0x0.st/XDrp.txt

#39: http://0x0.st/XGCB.txt

seth · 2024-11-05 16:19:28

You've a bogus /etc/locale.conf and still need to add the LTS kernel to the grub config, running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg from the chroot should™ do.

guasap209 · 2024-11-05 16:49:03

It boots. I booted the lts kernel and it dropped me into a tty instead of sddm appearing. Also the other 2 kernel work and it defaults to the zen one for some reason. Thanks for the help!
