Linux-zen kernel panic init error

Hey guys, the linux-zen 4.17.3 kernel is causing me kernel panics, I have tried adding in init=/usr/bin/runit-init
but so far no luck. I have tried init=/usr/bin/runit too.

Code: [Select]
Failed to execute /init (error -2)
Kernel panic - not syncing: Requested init /usr/bin/runit-init failed (error -2).
CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.17.3-1-zen #1

And when I don't add an init= it says
"No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."

I tried downgrading back to 4.17.2 but its also doing the same thing now.... wtf????
the linux-lts kernel I installed is doing the same thing too!!! OMG!

One of my other computers upgraded to 4.17.3 just fine -.- ugh

Try to regenerate the initramfs. Looks like the initramfs is borked.

Also, are you sure /usr/bin/init (or at least /usr/bin/runit-init) exist in your installation?
now only the dinit guy in artix

No Chris I have that, its in the 'base' group, my runit installation is fairly new so of course it has it. I have checked that.
I did a re-install but now its doing this to me.... AGAIN!

Yes, /usr/bin/runit and runit-init both exist.

I just tried chroot'ing into it and it looks like its impossible to save... I refreshed the initramfs and re-updated the grub but its STILL doing this.... this is the second time its done this now, I re-installed initially, but its doing it again now!! and its both Linux-zen and Linux kernels...

Can you show me the output of these commands:
Code: [Select]
ls -al /
ls -al /usr
ls -al /usr/bin

The output will likely be large on the last one, please use a pastebin service.

I just did ANOTHER fresh install, and its doing it AGAIN on the "linux" kernel because there was an update for the "linux" kernel...  I am blocking updates for linux-zen now, this is beyond rediculous.... I don't have time to do a fresh install every time there's a kernel update... I don't wanna have to do a full re-install every week, its extremely tiresome & I have better things to be doing, why is it doing this? This literally makes no sense.... I am installing Artix runit through basestrap with the unstable repos disabled. What is causing this!? I just don't get it.... re-installing the kernel doesn't help.... now I am afraid to mess with anything because it'll force me into having to do another re-install...

And yes artix-sysvcompat is installed, even though I am using runit.... could that be a problem? Should that be there when I am using runit? sysvcompat for runit? Kind of odd, but I don't really know what that package is, so....

What else could possibly be going wrong?! Whenever there's a kernel update, any kernel update, it borks my system & then I have to chroot into it from a usb to save my precious files.... I've never encountered a problem like this til I switched to artix runit....

the only things I really change in text files is

scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 in /etc/default/grub

________________________________________________________

# set deadline scheduler for non-rotating disks
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", TEST!="queue/rotational", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="mq-deadline"
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="mq-deadline"

# set cfq scheduler for rotating disks
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="1", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"

in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-schedulers.rules

____________________________________________________________

and, discard is enabled in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, dofstrim enabled in /etc/cron.weekly, and crypttab config'ed for discard.

Those are the only things I really change, other than maybe like, auto-logging with LXDM, qt5ct settings, pacaur settings, I can't think of anything else I am changing.... Nothing that I can think of... I know its not when nvidia-dkms updates because otherwise my linux-zen kernel would've just been made unuseable just a few minutes ago. IDK what to do, I'm officially lost & confused.

I believe I see the problem. Could you run this for me:
Code: [Select]
ls -al /usr/lib64

When I installed dolphin-emu-fresh it told me /usr/lib64 already exists & it wouldn't install unless I did sudo pacman -U --force

so is that the problem? That's really weird, its like, the wrong permissions for that directory thats causing this?

I don't think it fixed it... what should I do after I fix that, should I just try to boot up the "linux" kernel? Or is there something else I should do? Perhaps I should re-install the "linux" kernel now? idk... because it didn't seem to work...

You should reinstall the default linux kernel and test with that first, after we get things working you can go back to zen. Also rebuild your initramfs.

OMG! I think that fixed it! Thank you Chris! I re-installed "Linux" and now the "Linux" kernel works! woohoo!
Now please, explain to me what this is all about, I don't understand how this works, how does this affect that?
How does /usr/lib64 affect the kernel? O.o

And my linux-zen still works - it was the "Linux" kernel that stopped working because of an update.
