Installed kernels in chroot, unavailable at reboot

Support
1

My system refuses to boot (failed to start cups scheduler) & (unknown Filesystem type efivarfs(“irrelevant”)), failed network time synch too.

Issues started after trying to install paru.

So, I take my live cd, mount and chroot into my encrypted disk, fix a few lib issues from a “partial upgrade”, (glibc 2.33&2.34 & lib32glibc, manual upgrade through downloading newer packages and installing)

Got pacman to work again, but still can’t perform full system upgrade (I have a infinite loop of conflicting dependencies with jack32 and multiple other packages I’ve been trying to fix for a long time - this is an old issue, my desktop environment has worked before even with this loop, used workarounds earlier)

Update “all” pacman mirrors, update gpg/master keys. Still can’t boot into environment.

No problem, I deduce maybe it’s a kernel issue (screen Flickr on Boot & newer glibc) so I download multiple kernels+headers+nvidia while chrooted (linux515,54,61,64,), using pacman -S command & (mhwd-kernel -i)
Errors can be seen in attached file (apparently I can’t attach media items in a post)
Run mknitcipio command.
The kernels can then be seen as installed in system with mhwd-kernel -li command.

Then, I reboot my system, to test whether some of the newer kernels work.
I don’t see them listed while booting as options.
Go back to live cd, mount to /mnt, chroot, etc, check mhwd-kernel -li again, they are still in the list. Yet they can’t be found on reboot. I can’t seem to find any information more than this, and am at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, my desktop environment contains a lot of important things and I am unsure whether just “updating/installing” through live cd will keep my desktop intact (which would be my first option on a windows machine)

Is there some directory I still need to mount properly?
My system should be systemd.
Any & all comments appreciated, I will post more accurate boot error info tomorrow if needed. ( main info is here already)
thanks!

Welcome to the forum! :vulcan_salute:

This suggests that your system boots in legacy BIOS emulation mode, while… :arrow_down:

… this suggests that you ran the live session in UEFI mode.

The version of the GRUB boot loader is different between both methods of booting. When installing kernels, mhwd-kernel builds the initcpios and adds the entries to GRUB, but if it’s doing that for a UEFI-native version of GRUB while your installed system natively boots in legacy BIOS mode, then the boot loader configuration won’t carry over.

Considering that you’ve made a bit of a mess of your system and how vague/casual you are about having done so, this seems like an insurmountably difficult scenario for us to troubleshoot, and therefore my advice would be to use the live session for backing up your home directory, reinstall, and then put back your backups.

Addendum

You’ve edited the post I was replying to, and therefore I had not seen the following before I posted my initial reply. :arrow_down:

Your system is out of date. Please update your system before doing anything else. Installing packages in an outdated system leads to a partial-upgrade scenario, which we cannot and will not support. The same is true for the outdated system itself.

Manjaro is a rolling-release distribution and must be kept up-to-date if you expect us to offer support. If you cannot or choose not to update your system, then perhaps you should be looking at a distribution that comes in the form of fixed-point releases.

Given the new information, I am closing this thread. If you experience any more difficulties after fully updating your system, then feel free to start a new thread, but alas, this one appears to have run its course, given that the problem was caused by the biological unit between the keyboard and the chair.
