As Subject states, I did my regular update of my Artix-runnit system which I have done every week for the past year. This time however when I restarted my Thinkpad, I got stuck in the boot-up process at:
Loading initial ramdisk ...
I followed some guides I found for arch to solve similar issues (and adaped them to my Artix-runnit system)
Here is what I have done so far with no success:
Boot into live USB Stick
Login:
artix login: artix
Password: artix
Change to root
$ sudo -i
Mount drives
# mount /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT /mnt
# mount /dev/disk/by-label/HOME /mnt/home
# mount /dev/disk/by-label/BOOT /mnt/boot
Check network connectivity
# ping -c 4 8.8.8.8
Chroot into new system
# artix-chroot /mnt
Reinstall linux
# pacman -Syu linux linux-firmware intel-ucode
I get one error stating that this is read only: /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload
Re-do Grub setup
# pacman -Syu grub
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# mkinitcpio -p linux
# update-grub
# exit (exit chroot)
# reboot now
When I reboot I get stuck on “Loading initial ramdisk …
”
Any Ideas where to go from here? And thanks in advance for your help!
