#[SOLVED] lost power during kernel update, need help fixing /boot

Hello, here is my situation: when I try to boot, I get the error message:

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot

I get a prompt to log in as root for maintenance, but no keyboard input seems to be received, even though the _ in the prompt is blinking.

I booted up an arch iso on a flash drive for repair. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  1. fsck’d the boot partition and turned off the error flag
  2. Mounted my root and boot partitions and Arch-chrooted into them
  3. Successfully ran pacman -S linux linux-firmware

When I reboot again, I get the same error as before (failed to mount /boot). journalctl -b returns “no entries” and if I fsck boot again it returns 0 (no errors).

I’m stuck at this point and would appreciate help!

#

An additional note: I’m confused that /boot cannot be mounted, but grub is running on that same partition and grub is working.

Also, in the arch iso flash disk live environment, I can successfully use the /etc/fstab from my root partition. It mounts /boot just fine!

Fixed it! Looks like I missed the last step of re-generating my grub config:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub
