[SOLVED] System fails to boot after upgrade.

webframp · 2009-07-21 16:54:39

Not exactly sure what happened as the upgrade appeared to go smoothly. Now trying to start just causes an endless cycle of rebooting. I have been unable to even boot into single user mode. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated here.

Using the livecd I can mount all the filesystems, and I have run fsck on all of them so I know they are clean. Here are my grub entries:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/569a7fe5-7452-4064-adc1-71b6b2b58b0b resume=/dev/sda7 ro vga=773 elevator=deadline
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/569a7fe5-7452-4064-adc1-71b6b2b58b0b ro vga=773
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img

I have tried using a kernel line of just:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro

and get the same results, as soon as grub starts to load the kernel the system reboots and I can't see what's on screen long enough to know what's happening.

That does appear to be my issue, I use jfs with no separate /boot

Edit:
The following steps fixed it:

Mount your / (and /boot partition into this mount) from your Ach system, ex:
sda2 (/) -> /mnt/arch
sda1 (/boot)(if you have a own /boot) -> /mnt/arch/boot
Do a chroot /mnt
and therein a:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.30.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz (or i686)
