Guys,
I just attempted an update which installed kernel26 2.6.32.10-1 on
my x86_64
box. After the update, the box failed to boot and the boot process
stopped at
the initrd/initramfs. (I have the slash because I can't remember the
exact
init----) But it was very early in the boot process. I have checked
logs and
nothing for this boot attempt was written to the logs. I suspect it
was too
early in the boot process for logging to be enabled.
I have never tried to recover from a failed arch boot before.
What's the proper
way. Boot with the install cd and chroot your install and either
downgrade to
the last kernel or try mkinitcpio again?
I think initrd and initramfs barely mean the same thing. initrd stands
for Initial RAM Disk and initramfs for Initial RAM Filesystem.
If you could give the exact error message, we could get some idea about it.
You can try mkinitcpio. Then if it doesn't work downgrade.
Ok,
I tried loading it again and it is "Initrd". As soon as you get the Initrd
message, it just sits there and 30 secnds later or so, it reboots.
I also have the LTS kernel installed and it is just fine. That's what I'm
running on currently. With that clarification, what say the gurus?
I think your kernel has got corrupt. Try reinstalling it.
