Need help fixing a bootable usb I use for resizing drive partitions

[amber dove]

I ran pacman -Syyu and rebooted and now it doesn't boot anymore

[dense coral]

can you mount it with mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

[amber dove]

I tried it

3rd image shows the output

It doesn't recognize the filesystem

[amber dove]

Any other ideas?

[dense coral]

is your boot partition corrupt?

[amber dove]

Could have happened, if so, what should I do?

[dense coral]

what bootloader do you use?

[amber dove]

Grub

[dense coral]

ok

so

you need to

reformat the boot partition mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda1
mount everything
chroot arch-chroot /mnt

then

reinstall the kernel pacman -S linux

and reinstall grub on the boot partition

grub-install and grub-mkconfig

[dense coral]

do you have stuff in there

can you ls

i think your drive corrupted in some way

[dense coral]

and journalctl | grep pacman

[dense coral]

and coredumpctl info

[dense coral]

your ld-linux is cooked

hooray

[amber dove]

What does it mean?

Is it cooked beyond fixing?

[dense coral]

no

exit the chroot

and run

cp /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /mnt/usb/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

this

[amber dove]

Did that

What now?

[dense coral]

try chroot and pacman -S linux again

[amber dove]

Still doesn't work

[dense coral]

what now?

same bus thing?

[amber dove]

Yeah

And the logs didn't change

I think I'll just reinstall the whole usb

I only have gparted there

[drifting pulsar]

Just run mount -a and it should mount all the other partitions in your fstab file.

[amber dove]

Everything else was mounted

Btw, too late
