This is why you keep a backup kernel
"Arch is stable"
So I'm trying to understand if you think that shutting down an update during regenerating the initramfs indicates that Arch isn't stable? Because that's a FAFO move and would crater any non-atomic update distro.
It doesn't ruin Debian or Fedora as they do the bootloader last
If it is interrupted it just boots the old kernel
When talking about Linux, "stable" usually means "doesn't have major changes often", or in other words, "doesn't have lots of updates that break stuff". That's why "Debian stable" is called that. Arch is not that.
Stable does not mean it's for everybody. My installation runs since now 10 years.
(The only other distribution this failsafe I know of is Debian)
It is! My Desktop hardly ever topples over!
- Boot to usb
- Mount your root filesystem
arch-chrootyour mounted root filesystem- mount
/boot mkinitcpio -p linux
Steps 1,2 and 3 are the entry way to solve all "unbootable Arch" problems by the way, presuming you know what needs to be changed to fix it of course.
For a while, I had to do this after every kernel update
Turns out, i accidentally had two /boot folders. One was is own partition, and the other was on the rootfs partition. When Arch booted, the separate partition was mounted over the rootfs /boot dir, "shadowing" it
Except, UEFI / GRUB was still pointing to the rootfs partition. So when pacman installed a kernel update, it wasn't able to update the kernel that UEFI was booting, but it was able to update the kernel modules
Kernel no likey when kernel modules are newer than the kernel itself
I'd gladly take an Arch wiki article
