Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

From the chroot, before you'd (re)install the kernel, what's the otput of

df -h

Can you

lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img

?

Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

Idk how to know the output of df before reinstalling the kernel. Btw, this is the df output as of now and this the output of lsinitcpio

Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

I just meant "with  the system setup as if you're about to reinstall the kernel"
Both outputs look ok

You still get

 initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic at start of compressed archive

regardless whether you try to boot linux, linux-lts and with the regualr or the failsafe initramfs?
Try to re-install https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/intel-ucode/ and add it to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microcode#GRUB

Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

What do you mean with "failsafe initramfs"?

Do i have to add the ucode manually or i can simply run grub-mkconfig ... ?

Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

mkinitcpio presets will by default generate two initramfs, a small one and a big "fallback" (sorry) one, initramfs-linux-lts-fallback.img, which includes more/all kernel modules.

grub-mkconfig will automatically detect the microcode update and configure GRUB appropriately. After installing the microcode package, regenerate the GRUB configuration to activate loading the microcode update…

Re: [SOLVED]Bootloader issue

Ok, actually i hadn't tried with the fallback yet.
But I noticed that i didn't have the intel-ucode installed, i mean, the system did not say that it was already installed and it was going to re install it. I'm trying now and let you know

EDIT
it worked! Thanks a lot seth, 5 stars to you
