I cleaned up my packages and now the kernel creation spams tons of possibly missing firmware warnings.

None of the firmware is needed, my system operates as expected, and everything works … Oh well 🙄 … Time to create some dummy modules, I guess.

Having issues?

#ArchLinux with #LVM on #LUKS and #systemd boot on the new #mkinitcpio 40-2 version?

Basically:
echo "title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux-hardened
initrd /initramfs-linux-hardened.img
options rd.luks.name=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sda2)=root root=/dev/vg0/root rw" >> /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap sd-vconsole sd-encrypt block filesystems fsck lvm2)

Deux nouveaux hooks pour #mkinitcpio sur #ArchLinux, suite à la MAJ faite cette nuit : [systemd] et [sd-vconsole]

Conséquence liée ? À l’allumage, ce matin, entre les écrans “Chargement de Linux…” et celui d’ouverture de session, toute la phase de démarrage de systemd se fait… en écran noir complet, à l’aveugle (il n’y a plus la ligne “/dev/sda…”, ni de simple curseur texte “_” gris) ! C’est perturbant, ce changement non sollicité… >__<

If you have lots of RAM available, but need to save some space on /boot with Arch Linux   when using mkinitcpio (default initramfs setup): Set MODULES_DECOMPRESS in your mkinitcpio.conf to yes.

The default zstd compression will ensure the initramfs image on /boot to be smaller than if this option were not enabled, but RAM usage may be higher when booting.

🚀 How to Update GRUB and Regenerate Initramfs from a Manjaro Live USB System 🐧

Sometimes things break—it’s Linux life! 💻 Maybe your Manjaro installation isn’t booting correctly after an update or some system tweaks. Don’t panic! You can easily fix boot-related issues using your Manjaro Live USB stick.

Here’s how you can update your GRUB bootloader and regenerate your initramfs directly from a Manjaro Live USB. Let’s dive in! 🌊

🔧 Step 1: Boot into the Manjaro Live USB & Mount your System

Boot your computer with a Manjaro USB stick. Open a terminal and identify your root partition using:

Let’s say your root partition is /dev/sda2, then mount it:

If you have separate boot or EFI partitions, mount them too:

• For a separate /boot partition:

• For an EFI partition:

(Replace /dev/sdaX with your actual EFI partition.)

🛠️ Step 2: Enter your Installed System with manjaro-chroot

Manjaro makes this super easy:

Now you’re working inside your actual system environment! 🚪

⚙️ Step 3: Update GRUB Bootloader

Run these commands based on your boot type:

• For BIOS/Legacy boot:

• For EFI boot:

🔄 Step 4: Regenerate your Initramfs

Now regenerate initramfs images:

🎉 Step 5: Finish & Restart!

Exit the chroot environment:

Unmount your partitions:

And reboot your system:

That’s it! 🎯 Your Manjaro system should now boot up smoothly.
