#Updating via the Omarchy update panel boots into emergency mode.

Hey,

Had some issues installing packages / AUR's; (would fail repeatedly with something along the lines of "Could not find the package/AUR repo"; although it would eventually work if i tried enough 5-6 times.)

So, I decided to update my system, assuming that maybe yay or pacman was out of date or something. Went through the usual update menu [SUPER+ALT+SPACE --> Update --> Omarchy] as per usual, restarted after it downloaded and updated everything and boom, emergency mode.

Error that showed during update:


---- (Gap of stuff updating) ----

Non-stopping errors detected during update:
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_modeset'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_uvm'
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_drm'
==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.
ERROR: mkinitcpio failed for kernel 6.18.7-arch1-1, skipping.
Non-stopping errors detected during update:

Error: Initramfs generation may have failed. Review logs before restart.```

during the emergency mode log (via journalctl -xb) it would show "Failed to mount /boot" near the end. There we're other error but they were strings of long memory addresses and I didn't take photos of them.

System specs:
AMD 3700X
AMD 9700 XT (Formerly Nvidia 3070 8gb)
32gb ddr4
Direct Omarchy boot from hardware (NVME ssd), no dualbooting.

Previous updates have been fine, even after swapping GPU.


Any ideas?

Here are all the errors that showed in journalctl -xb

What is the issue? You switched GPU from nvidia to amd?
And a separate unrelated yay error?
Show output of pacman -Qm
Run omarchy-pkg-drop freedownloadmanager-bin
omarchy-update

#

show cat /proc/cmdline

Hi, everyone. Fresh install Omarchy V3.3.0 got the same issue after install -> connect to wifi -> update -> reboot -> emergency mode.

I have disabled "fast boot" option in bios so the Oarchy boot menu could be displayed. Selected the snapshot created after install, restored and rebooted, the system seems fine for now.

Yeah, it look like its the newest update

mkinitcpoi and Initramfs seem to be causing issues when building the new kernel as per error logs

No clue why or how to fix

can you get to root shell

try to simplify the issue and it becomes easier

# autumn parrot try to simplify the issue and it becomes easier

I'll try and make it simpler then.

Main issue:
" When I update my system via omarchy update menu, it boots into emergency mode. "

What caused me to update: yay issue installing packages from official arch and AUR.

Items possibly relevant:
Changed from Nvidia to amd 4 months ago; But have been through 3 prior system updates without issue.

See above images of error for more details that may be relevant.

when using sudoedit, save and exit the file for the changes to be real.
then sudo limine-update should work, which means omarchy-update can proceed

Grep nvid returned nothing.

sudoedit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf```

This seems to have been the issue, removed it and ran ```sudo limine-update```. Updated without issue.
