Mkinitcpio update 37.2-1 break the System

weingeist · 16 January 2024 00:41

With this update I get the following error messages

The system no longer boots into the graphical user interface

Install nvidia-dkms for now. @philm and I are investigating.

weingeist · 16 January 2024 01:38

thx a lot

Installing nvidia-dkms ends with an error too.

I’m positive the kernel files are indeed present in /boot/
For safety, I did an update-grub manually, and it booted normally.

I can’t reproduce that. Either way, I’ve pulled mkinitcpio 37.2-1 and reverted back to 37.1 with 37.1-4 for now. You can use sudo pacman -Syu mkinicpio or sudo pacman -Syuu once your mirror has it.

weingeist · 16 January 2024 02:29

Neither works sorry
Please What is the pacman command to downgrade mkinitcpio

6x12 · 16 January 2024 02:52

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syuu

weingeist · 16 January 2024 02:58

Germany Mirrors - Nothing to do

The Files in /extramodules have *.ko not *.ko.xz

philm · 16 January 2024 03:34

The folder extramodules is a symlink. With the new patch those don’t get copied as regular folders anymore. Hence the issue. To test a potential fix please downgrade to 37.1-4 first and provide the output of: sudo lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-6.7-x86_64.img | grep extra

Then try to update to 37.2-1.1 and see if that fixes it. Also the output of lsinitcpio is needed.

openminded · 16 January 2024 04:14

I just couldn’t resist and decided to give it a try. With mkinitcpio v. 37.2-1.1 I got:

Now I’m about to reboot and see what happens.

UPD: works fine. Yes, I know I’m not affected by this exact bug, but at least the other issue with initrd being enormous has been resolved. 100 Mb vs 240 Mb makes a big difference (~30 sec boot on encrypted drive is OK-ish).

UPD2: with nvidia module added to mkinitcpio.conf array the resulting UKI grows almost to 200Mb causing boot time increase. Poor Nvidia users… Difference between linux66 and linux67 boot time is about 4 seconds due to linux67 image being bigger, but with nvidia it takes by 7-9 seconds more (instead of 4).

UPD3: can confirm 37.2-1.3 copies nvidia module.

philm · 16 January 2024 04:15

you use UKI so it doesn’t count. Needs to be the legacy way with nvidia modules enabled in modules at mkinitcpio. 1.1 doesn’t work either. Working on 1.2 now.

philm · 16 January 2024 04:21

OK, seems I might have fixed it:

37.2-1.3 should properly copy the extramodules like nvidia, when the kernel has a symlink in it’s path.

I had broken my system. And here is my way to fix it:

If you stuck on boot, try ctrl+alt+Fx to get into tty mode, then get into /etc//lib/modules/extramodules--MANJARO, for all .ko file in the folder, run sudo xz --keep -0 .ko to generate the compressed file while keep the decompressed. Then run sudo mkinitcpio -P to regenerate images.
wait until the bug is fixed.

welcome @Meson.Jiang

Great solution, you have saved my system

install “downgrade”
sudo downgrade mkinitcpio

@weingeist did you find time to test 37.2-1.3 on your end?

weingeist · 16 January 2024 11:33

Final question for all concerned

Is it possible to reinstall from 37.2 to 37.1 or is that not a good idea?
Should or must one delete something in extramodules to avoid file corpses or complications ?

@philm
I can test it tonight, I have to go to work first

Updated to mkinitcpio 37.2-1.3 and reverted from nvidia-470xx-dkms to linux-nvidia470xx

No issues with copying nvidia extramodules

Ok, i have delete in extramodules nvidia-*.ko.xz
