Could’n boot in my crypt Gnome (linux54 5.4.249) environment after update. Got stuck with initramfs error after passphrase.
My solution.
Booted into Manjaro live USB.
Then opened the LUKS filesystem and chrooted into it.
Uncommented gzip in /etc/mkinitpcio.conf

COMPRESSION=“gzip”

Then updated boot settings

mkinitcpio -P && update-grub

After reboot I was able to use the system. Done the kernel upgrade to “linux510 5.10.186” later on and rolled back the gzip change.

Tuck me all 2 hours, because I had a secound computer for research. Other wise

Reinstalling GRUB / kernel on a LUKS-encrypted Manjaro install

Hello all, Today I was updating my Manjaro install, when my computer ran out of battery out of the blue (I know, noob mistake, my battery is moody but it’s still my fault). And upon rebooting I got the following error: error: file '/vmlinuz-[version number]-generic' not found error: you need to load the kernel first So I did what was recommended in other forum posts. I got the Manjaro live USB, booted onto it. Now, I also have a LUKS-encrypted system on my computer (as set up by the Manjar…

Initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic as start of compressed

Reinstalling by itself does not suffice. Here is the problem : For some reason, mkinitpcio now creates zstd compressed images instead of the previous default gzip. kernels 5.4 and 4.19 cannot read these images. A workaround is to uncomment COMPRESSION=“gzip” in /etc/mkinitpcio.conf, and rebuild with mkinitcpio -P I am not sure if there is a way to make 5.4 and below able to read zstd.
