I have a luks encrytped root partition loaded with Manjaro. I’m not sure what change caused this behaviour. After decrypting the drive, Manjaro fails to load. There is a blank screen after decrypting. I have a live Manjaro USB and I am able to mount the encrytped drive. The following is from the…

Thank you tnaser I might try chrooting in and reinstalling the grub. However I have had many successful boots, this is not a newly encrypted drive.

My bad. Not familiar with the output.

When you do that, also do this: edit /etc/default/grub and remove the “quiet” parameter from the kernel command line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“…” so that you will see the messages that are normally printed to the screen during boot. sudo update-grub after changes to that file

I chrooted in, changed the entries in /etc/default/grub, and updated the grub. I can now see messages printed to screen during boot. There are messages referring to ACPI BIOS Error (bug), and Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

These are not the only things that are printed there - or are they? And you are (normally) dropped into an (pretty limited) emergency shell.

No they’re not the only things. I can’t upload an image tho. And no not dropped into a shell. I have to force power off.

[image] Chrisf: I can’t upload an image tho. Yes you can - just not directly to here. Use a service, share the URL. If you think it is useful.
