Kernel parameters

I booted my pc, went into grub by pressing e and then typed this command. But after rebooting this are still the same

Should I just reinstall and inspect before "exit and reboot"?

At that point you're still in the installer so no

And it would be the same as you just chrooting now without reinstalling

Makes sense, what should I do then?

#

I wrote something in quick-questions, should I try that out?

Somehow I fixed it by spamming mkinitcpio -p linux
