Voidlinux question: can't boot system after upgrade
hi, pardon me for posting here on voidlinux since i couldn't find a dedicated forum
i upgraded my voidlinux system but couldn't start the system after reboot the systems displays the following then freezes: 'Booting Void GNU/Linux Loading Linux 5.4.25_1... Loading initial ramdisk..' I updated system from a previous 'xbps' < 0.54, related thread is here #251 the system is a homebuilt pc with void installed on internal IDE drive. the old 4.19 kernel can be boot without any issue (from Advanced menu) any advice? |
they hang out on freenode now ..

Check that you have a new initrd image for your new kernel. Most distros automatically create one with some kind of mkinitrd script when a new kernel is installed, but I don't know if Void does.

here's the initrd in the /boot:
Code:
[erdos@quantum boot]$ ls -l |
You have 6 kernels installed. Is that on purpose?
Do the docs help you https://docs.voidlinux.org/ You can remove kernels with vkpurge the docs say. |
