Peeping the forum, I see a few similar cases. Possibly my grub config is messed up? Doc just put me on some new meds, SSRI, and I’m a bit cloudy and not really trusting myself to tackle this alone.
So, this machine has OSX and AL, but I never use OSX. In fact, whatever happened during my initial install a year ago OSX is not seen by grub. If I need to boot to OSX, I’ve just used the option key on the macbook. Thus, I probably brought this issue on myself.
The UUID is correct in the grub cfg. As I read this forum and others, I am wondering if boot wasn’t mounted during the updates? Not sure how that happened. There were like 240 updates (I can’t believe I let it get that bad.) 200 went through and then it errored out. I did pacman -Syu again and it finished fine and I continued to use the laptop. Today I opened it up and the screen was glitched. I thought this thing had finally died. Powered it off and back on to find the error above.
I’m reading about chroot and arch-chroot now, but not feeling confident I have these chops.
Doing this resulted in “no matches found: vmlinuz*”
The command mounted my partitions with unexpected results. My partitions are named and both show up file manager, with the addition of “199 GB Volume.” The Mac partition and this “199 GB Volume” are mounted, but the linux partition is not. All the data that I would expect to be on the linux partition is in the 199 GB Volume. If I look in finder at this volume I can see vmlinuz-linux. The location is “/run/media/liveuser/fa39614d-9163-4e79-8257-419236748747/boot/”
That did it. Responding via my install and not the live disk. Woo!
THANKS SO MUCH!
Yes, I was on a SNRI for a year, but it really shut me down emotionally. I could have lost an arm and been like, “Would you look at that? huh.” It took almost 6 more months to ween off. Doc is trying the old school SSRI now, but it will take me a month to probably balance out. It was the same with the SNRI. I’m just foggy. And, using it as an excuse for my linux ignorance.
