Error: file `/boot/amd-ucode.img` not found

[nl.smart]

Hi,

Error on boot after a fresh install on a cpu and gpu intel device (Odyssey x86), no issue like this one in the past with the device, not an amd / ati device.

I built 3 Manjaro iso image this week, same issue after the first boot, last one I did an auto install (I updated the manjaro build iso profile today, I build an image now, need time to test this fourth image…)

an error appear at screen on boot

error: file `/boot/amd-ucode.img` not found

I found something on a forum, have to look calamares ???

Initramfs image can be bigger on 6.7 kernel due to Nvidia GSP Boot firmware

We all known that kernel 6.7 is <a href="https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.7">very feature rich</a>. One of the features is the i…

Thanks for your help

Edit 1 : the last built iso image (2024.01.14) don’t boot, error…

So is package amd-ucode present ?

Thanks for your reply,

The answer is yes, amd-ucode package is present, more details below :

When we look at the newest stable, we see a new increase size relate to bootfiles… i would recommend to expand your bootpartition from 300MB to atleast 600MB.

Of course it also depends how many Kernels you want to have installed.

[cscs]

While the initramfs of the newest 6.7 kernel is supposedly large …

It does not end up on your ESP.

See this scrot of gparted looking at my ESP on a multiboot system with multiple kernels:

@Kobold @cscs

Thanks for your reply and councils.

I don’t know why, but the install work with the official Manjaro iso image
manjaro-kde-23.1.2-240102-linux66.iso.torrent
I note some difference between the official iso and my own image during the OS install…

I share the official iso torrent !
Emis = send

it doesn’t work with my iso build image, why ?

@nl.smart, have you tried already to solve it in analogues way as described here:

Deleted intel-ucode

The system should still be bootable if you edit your Manjaro boot entry in grub (press e in grub menu) and adjust the initrd line from initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64.img to initrd /boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64.img and then press f10 to boot this edited entry. Reinstall the package or at least update-grub to get a bootable system.
