ERROR: invalid kernel specified: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'

Tonight I did updates and got this:

I'm pretty sure I don't want to reboot. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this.

Thanks.

Did you try running mkinitcpio -p linux manually? That's not a good error to get in any case though.

Re: ERROR: invalid kernel specified: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'

So check what's in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset and your boot manager configuration. They should contain, and agree on, the correct path to the kernel. Right now, they don't.

Code: [Select]
# ls -l /boot

Thanks for the ideas! Here are some outputs:

This machine has been running Artix fine for almost two years. I haven't modified /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset, or /etc/default/grub recently.

I do recall that because I have an MSI motherboard, I had to add --removable to the grub-mkconfig line:

Code: [Select]
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/ --bootloader-id=grub --removable

I can't find any notes on this, but I believe it causes a change in where BOOTX64.EFI is stored. Mine is located at
Code: [Select]
/boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

Could you please check where yours is? Thanks again.

This can be found by web search: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252418

What does the
Code: [Select]
$ which hexdump
give? If /usr/local/bin/hexdump, remove your custom version of util-linux and do
Code: [Select]
$ su
# pacman -S util-linux

There are other ideas for debugging in that thread (like adding set -x).

This thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250486
solves the problem by removing mkinitcpio-git and replacing it with normal mkinitcpio package.

So, essentially, double check if Artix repositories are before the Arch repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, and do:
Code: [Select]
$ su
# pacman -S linux linux-headers util-linux mkinitcpio

Next time, you should first search if anyone on the web had a similar problem. Often that turns out to be the case.

Re: ERROR: invalid kernel specified: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'

Yes, I saw that in my searching also, but I have no /usr/local/bin/hexdump

Code: [Select]
% whereis hexdump
hexdump: /usr/bin/hexdump /usr/share/man/man1/hexdump.1.gz

I also read the Arch wiki and tried this:

Code: [Select]
mkdir /boot/EFI/grub
cp /boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI /boot/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi
pacman -S linux

But still not getting any /boot/initramfs-linux.img  (or fallback image either), even after a manual mkinitcipio -p linux.

Tried downgrading to linux-5.13.8.artix1 and that didn't help, even though it was working before.

I have an nvme that's glued in or I would have already ripped it out and reinstalled. May have to do that anyway.

That is normal under the circumstances, simply because the initcpio generation fails. Try adding set -x (not set +x like in that post, but set -x, a few posts later):

nvme could create problems, as the support for SSDs in Linux is problematic and depends on the SSD model, but not at the point when you have a shell in which you can call pacman, so I don't think it is related to this issue.

I appreciate your suggestion to try a web search, but believe me, I have a whole desktop full of tabs from my searching.

The order of the repos in /etc/pacman.conf is:

I will admit I did not see the post about the guy missing vmlinuz-linux, however, I'm getting that file, but not initramfs-linux.img or initramfs-linux-fallback.img

Anyway, the post indicates you can look in /usr/lib/modules/ for these files.

Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.10-artix1-1 # find . -name \*vmlinuz\*  
./vmlinuz
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.10-artix1-1 # diff vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-linux
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.10-artix1-1 #

No diff there, but:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.10-artix1-1 # find . -name \*initramfs\*

finds nothing.

I use zsh and I have grml-zsh-config installed. When I saw all of the above output I wondered if I have some problem with my zsh configuration. So I changed to bash and repeated:

Code: [Select]
# set -x mkinitcpio -p linux 
+ set -x mkinitcpio -p linux
++ printf '\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007' artiong vtk398 '~'

Everything you should have typed is in the linked post, but if you really can't (or won't) read it I'll retype it here:

Code: [Select]
$ /usr/bin/bash --norc
$ su
# source /usr/lib/initcpio/functions
# type kver
# set -x
# kver /boot/vmlinuz-linux

Unrelated, but while some Youtubers (Luke Smith? Mental Outlaw?) praise non-bash shells, bash is still the standard and should be left as a default shell.

I think I needed to issue /usr/bin/bash --norc after su to root, too.

Code: [Select]
$ /usr/bin/bash --norc
bash-5.1$ su
# /usr/bin/bash --norc
bash-5.1# source /usr/lib/initcpio/functions
bash: /usr/lib/initcpio/functions: line 817: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: /usr/lib/initcpio/functions: line 817: `    rm "$moduledest"/modules.!(*.bin|devname|softdep)'
bash-5.1# type kver
kver is a function
kver () 
{ 
    local kver re='^[[:digit:]]+(\.[[:digit:]]+)+';
    local offset=$(hexdump -s 526 -n 2 -e '"%0d"' "$1");
    [[ $offset = +([0-9]) ]] || return 1;
    read kver _ < <(dd if="$1" bs=1 count=127 skip=$(( offset + 0x200 )) 2>/dev/null);
    [[ $kver =~ $re ]] || return 1;
    printf '%s' "$kver"
}
bash-5.1# set -x
bash-5.1# kver /boot/vmlinuz-linux
+ kver /boot/vmlinuz-linux
+ local kver 're=^[[:digit:]]+(\.[[:digit:]]+)+'
++ hexdump -s 526 -n 2 -e '"%0d"' /boot/vmlinuz-linux
+ local offset=14464
+ [[ 14464 = +([0-9]) ]]
+ read kver _
++ dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-linux bs=1 count=127 skip=14976
+ [[ You =~ ^[[:digit:]]+(\.[[:digit:]]+)+ ]]
+ return 1

Correct. If the permissions are set up correctly, there is no need to su anyway.

This line means that the kernel in /boot/vmlinuz-linux is possibly corrupted. Instead of returning version string, it returns "You". Try
Code: [Select]
$ dd  if=/boot/vmlinuz-linux bs=1 count=127 skip=$(( 14464 + 0x200 ))
On my system, this returns:
Code: [Select]

Ok, this means the kernel image is ok, but the construct
Code: [Select]
read kver _ < <(dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-linux bs=1 count=127 skip=$(( 14464 + 0x200 )) 2>/dev/null)
fails. Can you check the output of this?

Code: [Select]
$ read kver _ < <(dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-linux bs=1 count=127 skip=$(( 14464 + 0x200 )) 2>/dev/null)
$ echo $kver
Note the spaces: strings "kver" "_" "<" "<(..." are separate.
