Hi!
So i started my laptop today and it was just hanging on [OK] Reached Target Basic System or similar, then after a while it would spit out the following (in image) i was messging with possibly doing the manual kernel configuration using modprobed-db but that wouldnt build so i left it for now but i guess maybe i somehow fucked that up? Im very unsure,,,,

@noble charm vindication? :P
I think regenerating your iniitramfs would be good to try
From the iso, mount your root, chroot in, mount your efi partition and emerge --config <your kernel>. That should re-run dracut and hopefully unbork this

Will try

So like, my kernel as in gentoo-kernel-bin?
It spit out a lot of text and says succeeded so

yep
If it didn't error it probably worked. Basically dracut (your initramfs) got sad, so we've made a new initramfs with that command
You should at least get different errors now, if it doesn't just work

Its still getting stuck at [OK] Reached Target Basic System im just waiting for it to timeout now so i can see if anything changed fkdkck
deft bronze
Getting the same error is curious

You say you did some custom kernel messing, could you describe what you did?

Lemme get a picture of what i was following

This process is a fair thing to try first with anything initramfs related btw
analog oriole
Also after the dracut emergency shell it drops to this, its goong back and forth between the two start jobs
Omg its me hiiiii
deft bronze
Hmm well we did the regenerating initramfs thing
Did you 100% mount your boot partition when chrooted?

The two start jobs are for my partition 3 with my root and home and stuff and my partition 1 with the boot partition
analog oriole
Did you 100% mount your boot partition when chrooted?
Pretty certain
deft bronze
can you share a lsblk -f and cat /etc/fstab from the chroot?
The "start job is running" is systemd not being able to mount your fat32 partition via the fstab, pretty sure
analog oriole
I did the regenerate initramfs again but there was a "not found" somewhere in there, how do i scroll back up 😭
deft bronze
lsblk with the -f flag as well, it's the UUID of your fat32 partition I'm concerned with

For this sort of thing you can <command> 2>&1 | tee log.log to capture the output in a file
deft bronze
That looks like a consequence of your messing around with the kernel, I think
what does eselect kernel list show?
deft bronze
Quite a bamboozler 🤔
deft bronze
This looks maybe important
Your kernel is eselected, so it should have its modules in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/* but by your errors here dracut can't get at them
analog oriole
This is whats there
deft bronze
Yeah there should be a kernel directory in there
Not quite sure how to solve that on dist tbh. Should be automatic
maybe try reinstalling the kernel entirely, not just --config emerge gentoo-kernel-bin ?
analog oriole
Yeah thats what im trying now
deft bronze
If this was a custom kernel you could cd /usr/src/<custom kernel dir> and make modules install to install the modules. I am unsure if that would work with the dist kernel though
deft bronze
That's encouraging!
