MX Linux Forum

Hi-

I followed the directions on this post:

viewtopic.php?t=56351

and it now boots to initramfs TTY screen.

As an experiment, the instructions corrected it for antiX, but not for MX on the same laptop, different drive.

MX is my daily OS and MX is also the boot controller and this was fixable with switching around the grub-customizer menu selections up until recently.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Thank you.

Maybe you reformulate within this thread here the steps you have done, and explain why you think it was needed.
Thanks

Hi fehlix-

I had been multi-booting MX with antiX and sometimes Windows (which I might remove from this computer in case it is the problem - it is on another disk presently).

Before the block-scripts started showing up, I would just revert-save and make sure none of the other installations were set to look for other OSs and some other commands (as per your instructions):

viewtopic.php?p=498415#p498415

It started running those block scripts about a year ago or longer. If another version was selected in each antiX installation, it worked, then that longer worked. After that I would update-initramfs -u and that worked. Now it does not.

I could use antiX as the boot controller and just list MX first on the menu, but don't know if MX is the problem no matter where it is. It was not involved in the antiX experiment that worked, so it is possible.

Created resume file in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/

sudo update-initramfs -u

Nothing changed after reboot except that now it goes to the initramfs TTY screen.

Based on the information provided I may have a rough idea what you are "talking" about.
But to get a better picture suggest gathering a bit more infos,
so perhaps do this first:
* Do boot with a recent MX Linux Live USB/Media:
* Open the Menu and search for QSI "Quick System Info".
Run the QSI and click and the button "Copy for forum", and post here.
* Next open terminal and show involved partitions with:

Code: Select all

lsblk -f

and

Code: Select all

sudo parted --list

Post both command and text output as text within code-block tags enclosed:
Code block looks like this with the post editor [code] A text code block [/code]
Thanks

Thank you fehlix -

I think I had mislead you. The initramfs TTY screen appears when I try to boot from a selection of antiX on the menu, but it boots to MX itself with no issues, just the menu selections of the multi-boot.

Should I gather the QSI, lsblk -f and parted --list from MX that is installed directly, without using the Live USB? Or just do it the way you have stated?

After removing Windows completely, and updating initramfs, same problem.

Loading the now empty internal auxiliary m.2 with three antiX versions (base, sysVinit, runit-full), and MX as fourth selection, boots perfectly to every one with antiX as the boot controller.

Wiped the main drive with MX as the boot controller of any other selections, started over and it had the same behavior.

I don't mind wiping MX and cloning the configured installations to the main disk, but the grub menu is a little difficult to read. I tried to put a different background on it to make the selections stand out more, but it did not save it.

So my guess is that possibly the MX bootloader app might be interfering with grub-customizer. Can I remove the MX boot application from MX, since I don't use it, or is it baked in?

I'm affraid you lost me.
As you have now changed something, maybe post again the partition layout and explain where is installed what.
Next post the grub.cfg of the controlling grub-boot loader. (perhaps mention what partition the grub.cfg is from.
And and also what entry selected within the grub menu would create the initrd show stopper.

If my experimenting has not led me astray, I have discovered that removing Windows 10 operating system from the computer stopped it from booting to the "initramfs" TTY in the added operating systems, but did not stop the "begin:running/scripts/local- block" script on boot. It was not just Win 10 being there, but I had destroyed the MBR and was using grub to get into it for 2 hard drive applications I used in it occasionally. Not a big deal without it.

What I had failed to do, was "update-initramfs -u" within each system (except the MX boot controller), and when that was done, each booted perfectly.

If the Windows 10 theory proves to be erroneous, is there a way to update the initramfs from the TTY screen of that operating system, if it occurs again?

So the issue is only with menu entries running/booting from the first drive, which holds the MX linux entry, right?
OK, suggest this:
* Create an additional swap partition.
You may add the swap partition also to /etc/fstab. Even if not used, kernel "feels" better if there is one.
* add boot parameter "noresume" to the grub menu, add within /etc/default/grub ( or user mx-boot-options)
to this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
so it looks like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noresume"
when done regenerate the grub menu with
sudo update-grub

With this parameter, no need to manually run update-intiramfs.

As I'm not a big fan of grub-customizer suggest to get rid of it, b/c it may add further complications
e.g your are using root=/dev/sda2 instead of root=UUID=....
and device names like sda are another potential error source, use UUID instead.

When done post again the partition layout in the form:
lsblk -f
and
sudo parted --list
and
post again
content of /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and
post also /etc/default/grub

thanks

Thank you fehlix-

Hope this is correct.

(Can't edit grub entries without grub-customizer - tried many times from MX posts, arch and other different sources. Failed miserably...)

Wiped everything from the second drive - only swap, MX, antiX, and antiX on the main drive and nothing else on the laptop. First antiX partition boots to "begin:running/scripts/local- block" however, eventually opens. The second anitX boots normally. There was no change after the edits.

OK, boot to the "MX Linux" generated GRUB menu,
On the antiX menu entry press "E"-key for "Edit" and navigate to end of the line starting with "linux"
and add to the end of that line "noresume" space separated.

Press F10 ore Ctrlx+x to boot.

Now, when it boots to antiX, hopefully with no the intrd issue:
edit /etc/default/grub

and add to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line also the parameter noresume.
so it may look like this or similare:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet selinux=0 noresume"

also make sure sure you kept this line "#"-commented

Code: Select all

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

Now, back on commadn line do generated antiX grub menu with

sudo update-grub.

Reboot again to the GRUB menu and do the same for the 2nd antiX install.

When done, reboot into "MX Linux" and run here also

sudo update-grub

On all three MX and both antix, to add a swap line to the fstab:

edit /etc/fstab
and add these lines:

Code: Select all

# Swap partition on /dev/sda1
UUID=a5990d12-4389-44a1-9485-837f5d05da55  none  swap  defaults  0  0

Good luck.
