Update today: initramfs was not build correctly

[Keruskerfuerst]

Today, I installed the update.
Initramfs was build for the two kernels.
Initramfs fallback for kernel 5.15 was not build correctly.
An error occured.

How to corecct this ?

Which error?

Can you rerun the generation? sudo mkinitcpio -P

[Keruskerfuerst]

The first time the message error occured building initramfs was displayed.

During mkinitcpio -P the error specified kernel does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-6.0-x86_64 was displayed.

But the kernel 6.0 is not installed anymore.

there are probably some leftovers here from the uninstalled kernel(s):

ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset
sudo ls /boot/initramfs-*
sudo ls /boot/vmlinuz-*
sudo ls /usr/lib/modules/*

so remove them, and rerun the mkinit again

[Keruskerfuerst]

I removed /etc/mkinitcpio.de/linux60.preset.
Then mkinitcpio -P.

All works now.
Thanks !

I happened to be looking at an old one-liner thats related to this.
I polished it up a bit … here it is for you

gcspt

#!/usr/bin/env bash
gcspt=$(find /boot/ -type f -name grub.cfg);
initz=$(find /boot/ -type f -name 'initramfs*' | sort); 
imgz=$(find /boot/ -type f -name 'vmlinuz*' | sort); 
modz=$(find /lib/modules/ -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort);
mkinitz=$(find /etc/ -type f -name 'mkinitcpio*' 2>/dev/null | sort); 
mkinitzd=$(find /etc/mkinitcpio.d -type f | sort);
