Unable to create initial ram filesystem, cannot boot

[40476]

I can’t collect output as I don’t have time in the morning but I can provide this

usr_40476@localhost:~> sudo touch /boot/test.txt    
usr_40476@localhost:~> sudo rm /boot/test.txt    
usr_40476@localhost:~>

From what I can tell the rest got cut off or something. (also keep in mind this has never happened to me before, i can check it on another machine if that helps)

Not being able to create symlinks for kernel and initrd sounds like your bootloader type has been partially switched from grub to systemd-boot, where symlinks to kernel and initrd cannot created due to using the ESP’s FAT filesystem to host kernel and initrd instead of native Linux filesystem. Check if systemd-boot and sdboot-utils are installed, and what the value for LOADER_TYPE= is in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader. If LOADER_TYPE= is Grub, then systemd-boot and sdboot-utils should not be installed. Confirm loader type by looking in /boot/ for existing kernels and initrds, which is where they belong for grub users. With systemd-boot, they situate in the ESP filesystem instead. (I’ve yet to try using systemd-boot, so am not sure exactly where on the ESP.)

[mrmazda]

Unknown kernel command line parameters is nothing but a distraction. I’ve never found out how to avoid or prevent the BOOT_IMAGE= parameter, while I often see others that are avoided by simply not using them. The kernel knows what some parameters mean, including those directed to it. Those it doesn’t know about are included there for passing along to configuration of various userspace objects. The message simply announces those of such type - i.e. dmesg noise (distraction).

# dmesg | grep rng
[    8.106552] [    T1] systemd[1]: rngd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
[    8.107985] [    T1] systemd[1]: rngd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
[   18.793968] [    C0] random: crng init done
[   45.552801] [   T19] intel_rng: FWH not detected

The random line means success starting [Cryptographic,ChaGha20] Random Number Generator.

The image shows kernel 6.11.0 had been installed for grub’s use. If this is the snapshot version though, it’s not helpful more than to suggest TW was configured, as of the snapshot state, for using Grub.

[40476]

So I should run an update and post the screenshot? Would adding a lock for systemd-boot also help perhaps?

[mrmazda]

Because I have no material familiarity with snapshotting or BTRFS, I’m blocked from suggesting more.

[40476]

@malcolmlewis
So i just did this:

usr_40476@localhost:~> sudo zypper al systemd-boot sdboot-utils 
Specified locks have been successfully added.
usr_40476@localhost:~> 

but I was curious, in your infinite wisdom, could you ask a developer if the the update for the kernel is, in any way, broken? And how to fix it?

(remember, I have no clue what I need to share and what I am doing at this point)

[malcolmlewis]

@40476 are they even installed?

What does cat /etc/sysconfig/bootloader | grep LOADER_TYPE show?

[40476]

@malcolmlewis

cat /etc/sysconfig/bootloader | grep LOADER_TYPE

should i run the update and then check? because i rolled back in order to use my desktop.

[malcolmlewis]

@40476 yes, if grub was default, then it will not change…

[40476]

currently running the update on my laptop
also, is it possible to do a rollback before botting into a snapshot? (like right after an update)

[Capistro]

To rollback without having to reboot to the grub menu:

sudo snapper list

sudo snapper rollback [number]

where number is the number ID for the snapshot that you wish to use.

[40476]

update on my laptop ran without a problem (it is in legacy boot mode for no apparent reason, never bother to fix it), here is the ouput from my desktop.

@40476

`dracut[I]: Module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found!`

These messages and others like them are normal on all my installations. IMO, none are indicative of your problem.

[40476]

I know missing module messages dont mean anything, but I suspect there is an mis-installed / corrupted module somewhere and that is causing an error. Because my previous kernel update went just fine. Would it be reasonable to check directory statuses on dracut’s folders?

[malcolmlewis]

@40476 use lsinitrd | wc -l (a lot of output!!!) as a quick compare to see if they match line count.

[40476]

We are keeping in mind I cannot reboot right?

[40476]

i think io found the problem, not sure though
