Mageia forum

Hi,
i installed Mageia 6 64bit with Xfce on my laptop Lenovo T440p, i tried to use encryption.

I maked separate partiton for /boot (1GB),
encrypted LVM containing:/, swap,/home
and separate unencrypted partition for data (/data).

I upgraded system, but i have now this problem:

1. in the boot menu, I missed the new kernel, i tried to update boot menu with update-grub2, but the system will not boot with it, i have to boot with old kernel

in boot partition i see now this:

Code: Select all

config-4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6
config-4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6
dracut/
grub2/
initrd.img@
initrd-4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6.img
lost+found/
symvers-4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6.xz
symvers-4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6.xz
System.map-4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6
System.map-4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6
vmlinuz@
vmlinuz-4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6
vmlinuz-4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6


2. i can not run some items in MCC like Samba, NFC, set way of introducing the system, manage partitions, ...
I get these error messages:

Code: Select all

does anyone know where could be a mistake? did I make a mistake somewhere? thank you for your help

So currently the main issue is that the newer kernel 4.14.30 is not listed in grub - but the system boots and automatically tries to open your encrypted partitions just fine with the older kernel, is that correct?

hi,
the new core was not shown in the grub, after manual entering the command update-grub2 i can see the new core in grub, but when i want to run Mageia with new kernel a get this error (in the picture)

booting with the old kernel works

I wanted to ask if someone has a similar problem or it is a unique case, thank you

It seems you may need to (re)create the initrd, as looking at your output from the contents of /boot there is none for 4.14.30.
You can try as root with dracut -f if that will generate it otherwise you need to reinstall the kernel package for 4.14.30

@doktor5000 you are KING

dracut -f doesn't help,
but when i uninstalled/installed kernel package for 4.14.30, then my laptop began to work

i have no problem with booting with new kernel and the problems described in item two are gone
now my computer works just fine, thank you very much - problem SOLVED
