[SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
Hi, I have a problem accessing the system with kernel LTS, after an update.
Error message received : "Failed to mount /boot - Dependency failed for Local File Systems".
I regenerated in emergency mode initramfs
mkinitcpio -P
and
mkinitcpio -p linux
I also updated grub "uefi"
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
With linux kernel no problem accessing the system.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
uname -a
pacman -Qs kernel
modinfo vfatThe cause is usually the booting and installed kernel falling apart because the /boot partition wasn't mounted when updating - and lacking the vfat module you cannot fix this.
You can try to boot the fallback image (assuming the vfat module is in the fallback initramfs) but otherwise will have to fix that from a live linux (install iso allows arch-chroot, but chrooting from eg. grml would also work) to be able to mount the boot partition (to /mnt/boot before! the chroot) and re-installing the kernel.

Could i try reinstalling the LTS kernel by booting the system with the Linux kernel, avoiding chroot from live?
The problem is only with LTS Kernel

Yes, check
cat /proc/cmdline and the mount status of /boot to make sure the /boot location matches the boot partition.
If the kernel in the commandline shows up as /boot/vmlinuz-linux you're NOT booting from a dedicated partition, otherwise =/vmlinuz-linux would be on a boot partition.
Also check the kernel version of the present

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
file /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts
same version as the installed one
pacman -Qkk linux-ltsAnd inspect the contents of nvme0n1p1 - it looks like you've two ESPs?
Edit: you're NOT booting from any boot partition right now, umount nvme0n1p5 and re-install linux-lts, alternatively you'll have to fix the grub installation.

Yes, I had installed a separate boot partition from the Windows partition. I just switched to UEFI.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
You're not supposed to have two EFI partitions - if nvme0n1p1 is short on space you could just continue to boot from nvme0n1p7 (using the /boot path on that partition) ie. remove the fstab entry for nvme0n1p5 (you could slap it to the swap)

how can i fix the grub installation?
I had already previously tried to reinstall it in the boot/efi partition

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
Fyi:
- You're supposed to have one EFI partition, multiple ones can get you into trouble w/ the UEFI
- boot partition(s) are optional, you can but don't have to use a dedicated boot partition (as long as your bootloader can boot from ext4, grub can)
- the boot partition can but does not have to be the EFI partition
You can simply continue to boot from nvme0n1p7 - unmount nvme0n1p5, remove the entry from the fstab and re-install the linux-lts package (so the kernel ends up in nvme0n1p7/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts)

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
Is this w/ nvme0n1p5 mounted into /boot ?
Having "esp/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi" is normal (esp being your EFI System Partition)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#UEFI_systems
sudo mount nvme0n1p1 /mnt
tree /mnt
sudo umount nvme0n1p5
tree /bootEdit: it is - twice, actually - the fstab is as much a mess as the rest 
3D7A-BABD is wrongly commented as nvme0n1p4 but the UUID is relevant

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
sudo mount nvme0n1p1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: fsconfig() failed: nvme0n1p1: Can't lookup blockdev.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
I think I installed grub twice.
Once with:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
And once with
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
Sorry
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt
tree /mnt
sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p5
tree /bootI think I installed grub twice.
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUBwould have been correct ifff the ESP was mounted into /boot

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
nvme0n1p1 is the ESP added by windows
grub and the kernels are installed to nvme0n1p7/boot but grubx64.efi is only on nvme0n1p5 - twice.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
i think:
1) i will try to remove
rm /boot/EFI/EFI/GRUB/
so, i will have /boot/efi/grub
2) i will modify fstab for partion boot nvme0n1p4 to nvme0n1p5
# /dev/nvme0n1p5
#UUID=3D7A-BABD /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 2
3) then regenerate grub
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
what do you think?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
nvme0n1p1 is gonna be too small to serve as boot partition - you can install grubx64.efi there but not use it as /boot partition
sudo umount /boot
sudo mkdir /boot/esp # this path is a random choice
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/esp
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/esp --bootloader-id=GRUB
sudo pacman -S linux-lts
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
efibootmgrNext to commenting UUID=3D7A-BABD you also need to remove the double entries in the fstab (see #15)

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot
Sorry, Seth, for all the questions, but I'd like to understand what I did wrong and how we're proceeding to fix it.
1
nvme0n1p1 is gonna be too small to serve as boot partition - you can install grubx64.efi there but not use it as /boot partition
sudo umount /boot
sudo mkdir /boot/esp
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/esp
Are we installing only grub in uefi partition?
2
sudo mkdir /boot/esp
Should it be left without specifying a destination folder?
3.
For the boot partition can I use the pre-existing folders in the root directories?
/boot/efi/grub
Can I remove /boot/efi/efi (duplicate partition)?
4
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/esp --bootloader-id=GRUB
I reinstall boot again in uefi partition.
Is it not necessary to remove previous installations?
Thank you

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot

The plan is to move grubx64.efi to nvme0n1p1 so you end up w/ a single ESP
Should it be left without specifying a destination folder?
Errrm… wut? This will create the directory "/boot/esp" - the path is actually random but we need to mount the ESP somewhere.
Can I remove /boot/efi/efi (duplicate partition)?
You can ignore the contents of nvme0n1p5 for now, it will become dead space and you can later decide what to do with it and for now I'd leave it alone (also as backup if things go horribly wrong - make sure you've some live distro around nevertheless)
I reinstall boot again in uefi partition.
grubx64.efi currently doesn't exist on nvme0n1p1, the other files in /boot would be overridden.
Depending on what other parts of the bootloader grub wants to put into the ESP rather than /boot you might run into space-issues (because of the small ESP) but the mess currently only exists on the to be abandoned nvme0n1p5
Nothing needs clean-up on nvme0n1p1 or nvme0n1p7 for now.
Report back with the outcome and don't reboot if you run into errors.
