Emergency Shell - failed to mount /efi

HARDWARE:
Ryzen 7 2700X
32gb ram (memtest86 didn't detect anything)
RTX 3060

Hmmmm. First thing to try is regenerating your initramfs I think

I'm not sure if that shell you have their is suitable for that, but worth trying - if it still fails then I would try it from a live ISO

[umbral merlin]

I have the same issue. Like i updated my system and now i am dropped on an emergency shell

[umbral merlin]

Did you update too? @fierce elm

[fierce elm]

Yes

[fierce elm]

Syu?

[umbral merlin]

Yes

[fierce elm]

Maybe it's a bug or smth I guess

[umbral merlin]

I dont think its hardware related at this point i am whopping a lenovo miix 310 which is kinda ancient.

Probably a issue with the update yes. I remember that it was smaller than the original size.

[tardy basalt]

Hmm systemd did get a recent version bump

[umbral merlin]

I do use systemd. So that might be connected to that issue.

[tardy basalt]

This appears different from the error dervarex has

The OP issue is a filesystem dependency issue, yours is an (apparently) missing root disk

For yourself, I think you should get into the live ISO environment and verify your /etc/fstab is all correct. Compare it to the output of lsblk -f and blkid

genfstab is a fantastic tool for verifying/testing this stuff, and if you're lazy can just make you a working fstab right there

[umbral merlin]

My fstab seems fine

[fierce elm]

I use grub

[umbral merlin]

You got it fixed or also still working it out?

[fierce elm]

I don't know how to fix it, I tried, but I'm pretty new to arch and don't wanna destroy my os completely

[umbral merlin]

Feel you. I am content with crashing this pc though. The only thing i would cry for is a waterfox install that starts five seconds after i pushed the start button for it. This old device seriously sucks. 😂😅

[tardy basalt]

See which drive it is with blkid, that prints partuuids

ooh mmc, crispy

what does blkid have to say?

[fierce elm]

@umbral merlin you should make an support post for your issue maybe instead of trying to fix it here

[umbral merlin]

Sorry mate

[tardy basalt]

Oh I didn't even think this was your thread lol

[fierce elm]

Np

[tardy basalt]

Well as for you dervarex, have you regenerated your initramfs from the iso? :)

[umbral merlin]

So i cleaned up the thread of yours a bit and moved to my own

[umbral merlin]

I am not too sure if it helps you anyhow but ill keep you up to date about how i solve my issue so you can at least look up if you got the same issue or not. Not too sure if muesli is right and we dont have the same issue

[fierce elm]

Thanks

[worthy pollen]

xethoner received a thank you cookie!

[fierce elm]

Not yet, how exactly can I do this again?😅

[tardy basalt]

pacman -S <your kernel> is the best way

[fierce elm]

Oh yeah reinstalling the kernel I already did that(from the emergency shell, it worked but it still booted into emergency)

[night barn]

Yo bro that's bad try this sudo pacman -S gimp

[fierce elm]

Why gimp? Isn't gimp an art programm?

[fierce elm]

I did it now but it still enters emergency shell

Ok it probably isn't an subvol issue

[umbral merlin]

heya, it seems my issue was that some automatic checkups werent done and so the driver(s)/modules for my emmc storage werent loaded. Maybe your system doesnt load stuff too - I added modules to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to fix my problem. (if nano works for you from the emergency shell you dont need to boot a live iso)

#1484612532323881202 message

Maybe you could put this in your Module on line 7: ahci nvme nvme_core sd_mod vfat fat part_gpt

[fierce elm]

Didn't work for me, sadly

[umbral merlin]

You rebuild?

just making sure; command is: mkinitcpio -P

[umbral merlin]

Otherwise maybe you need some other options

[fierce elm]

Yes I did

I just installed another os and it still freezes

Yeah I'm gonna sell my GPU and buy a AMD one

[umbral merlin]

You think its a gpu issue?

[fierce elm]

Freezes probably are

Catchy os for example after the install the first boot freezes and crashed and stuff

[umbral merlin]

You sure you have correct drivers installed?

like try the non proprietary ones too

but eh. Sad to hear its not working

what gpu do you have?

[fierce elm]

Yes, I tried out literally everything that has Nvidia
I tried with nouveau
I tried without
I tried with dkms
I tried the other ones

RTX 3060 tripple fan Edition

I sat there for hours, with at least 5 different people on this server trying to figure it out and when it worked... It only did for about 1 boot

[fierce elm]

What is that?

[tardy basalt]

If you're still experiencing the error you have shown in your initial screenshot it will not be related to your GPU drivers

[fierce elm]

Yes I know I reinstalled the os and I always get freezes so I'm gonna switch the GPU first

[tardy basalt]

So /efi is mounting OK for you now?

I just wonder how you've determined the GPU is causing your issue

[fierce elm]

No, I reinstalled Linux
And I had extremely many freezes before
And the first boot into my new Linux was again, a freeze

And laptop with AMD works just fine

[tardy basalt]

Freezing like this?

[fierce elm]

Freezing like I'm in hyprland or kde or the terminal or whatever and the mouse, video and game just stops continuing
And sometimes the last 0.8s of sound repeats

[umbral merlin]

this doesnt sound like a gpu bug though. Maybe cpu and microcode related?

depends where your sound is calculated... - i figure if your sound repeats thats more a cpu - error than a gpu one, but i could be wrong. You could actually test this. there are drivers that let the cpu display like the gpu - this should be used as a fallback if you unistall all other gpu drivers

[tardy basalt]

I suggested microcode in the main thread

Definitely a requirement

[fierce elm]

It's not only the sound

[fierce elm]

When I let the CPU generate it it's laggy but it doesn't freeze

And as my laptop with AMD and the same setup doesn't freeze...

[fierce elm]

I mean the GPU isn't sold yet we can try maybe

But I'm sure it's GPU related
