Does anyone have any issues with 6.5.7? I updated yesterday and could not boot.
(1 of 2) A start job is running for /dev/mapper/root (30s / no limit) (2 of 2) A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-uuid/MY-UUID (30s / no limit)
Also during update my display resolution was set to 640x480 and I could not change it, so decided to reboot. I use a popular nowadays setup with LUKS encryption + unlock on TPM2, secure boot. I thought I messed with configs somewhere so started chasing that: changing configs and rebooting with no luck. The solution was to restore kernel 6.5.5 and everything booted back up without a hiccup. I am dreaded to see what happens during next kernel upgrade.
This is not asking for hep, more like a PSA if you have setup similar to mine, be aware
To those who stumble on this post in the future, I have found a solution that was in my case not knowing my system well enough. Since I decided to use Unified kernel images, I used mkinitcpio
to compile those, but for some reason I used sbctl-bundle
on top of that, which in itself is not any harm, just extra unnecessary work, and every single time I referenced an initramfs
image from /boot which was an old one and was installed prior to me switching to UKI. When I read on Arch Wiki that I can delete those initramfs
images from /boot - I deleted them, then had problems with sbctl bundle
, and ONLY THEN it clicked - any new kernel install/upgrade doesn't generate initramfs
in /boot but instead directly in UKI.
This is also good news because sbctl
author announced deprecation of the bundle feature in the future.
