Failed to load Kernel Module

Support

Here is the key part of the output I suppose:

sh-5.1# sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

And:

sh-5.1# mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.15.32-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux515-rt
23

so close the terminal, open it, chroot again and run this again:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

24

So do I need to remount the encrypted partitions again too?

25

yes you need to do it again, you are not connected to internet, you cannot install anything…

26

Great it’s doing something and just completed, final lines are:

ok so post again output from:
mhwd-kernel -li

28 
sh-5.1# mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.15.32-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux515-rt
29

ok so install the 5.17:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux517
reinstall the 5.15rt:
sudo pacman -S linux515-rt

30

ok done both, thank you. Time to reboot and see if it worked?

31

yes, run these:
exit
systemctl reboot
and why do you have installed the 5.15 rt?

32

Thanks I cannot remeber.

I rebooted and it isnt finding a Boot partition now. Upon installier of the kernel it did through up an error aeound grub. I should have pasted the output…

33

so were you able to boot into your installation?

34

No it now doesnt find anything to Boot. Did I kill grub?

35

probably need reinstall grub… first chroot again and run this:
post output from this command:
update-grub

36

That seems to through an error.
Let me make sure that I am mounting my drive and efi boot partition correctly first (encrypted).
Output from lsblk

sda1 and sda2 seem rto be the usb stick

Presumably nvme0n1p1 is my boot partition and nvme0n1p2 is the linux partition right…

I then use

su
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 nvme0n1p2_crypt
mount /dev/mapper/nvme0n1p2_crypt /mnt
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
manjaro-chroot /mnt

Is this correct?

The specific error I get with update-grub is this:

[manjaro /]# update-grub

i dont know how to chroot into an encrypted nvm disk…
and of course there is no info on the wiki on how to do it
the grub looks good, but it didnt detect the 5.17 that we installed…
run again:
mhwd-kernel -li

38

Yes I found some info on how to do it in various support threads so think it’s ok, however for some reason grub automatically assumes sda1/2 is where bootloader is, however that seems to be the livecd.

Output:

[manjaro /]# mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.15.32-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux515-rt

Installing a new kernel it seems to want me to specify a target…

39

i dont know if you are properly chrooted
exit chroot, close terminal, open terminal and run this:

su
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2  nvme0n1p2_crypt
mount /dev/mapper/nvme0n1p2_crypt  /mnt
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1  /mnt/boot/efi
manjaro-chroot /mnt

its with 2 spaces… and i dont know if that will make a difference

You decrypt it with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/blabla decrypted_whatever and then mount /dev/mapper/decrypted_whatever like you would regular drive. If manjaro-chroot -a finds and mounts it automatically, I don’t know.
