[Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
Hello all,
I am dual booting my laptop with Windows 11 and Archlinux.
Yesterday, I was working on Windows 11 and left the laptop for several hours untouched, I can't recall an update but I image that's what happened.
Anyway, I did the usual this morning, booting Arch using a live usb, mount all partition (root, boot, home) arch-chroot into the system and re-installed Linux - which usually works.
That didn't worked, so I then added a new UEFI entry with efibootmgr and again that didn't work.
When the laptop boot, I select the UEFI entry for my Arch and it goes directly into Windows. - no error shown.
I checked and disable fast start up on Windows as well, but still no luck booting arch.
I am lost, any direction would be appreciated.
thank you

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
From the install iso, what's the output of
lsblk -f
efibootmgr --unicode?

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
Is this supposed to be a https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image ?
Why does the EFI list a kernel, initramfs and commandline instead of an EFI?
Did you maybe rely on the windows bootloader offering to boot linux?

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
No, it isn't. I just following the wiki on installation using efibootmgr.
Again, just followed the wiki - so unsure.
And the last one, absolutely not rely on the windows bootloader.
The above has worked for the past two years, with the few hiccups when Windows messed it up.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_bo … _boot_stub ?
See the blue note - any chance the firmware (BIOS/UEFI) was updated?

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
No chance, it's a Lenovo and it needs manual intervention which I did not do.

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
See whether it's willing to boot a UKI or bootloader efi

Re: [Solved] No longer booting after Windows 11 update
If re-installation the kernel w/o further change fixed it you might have previously installed the kernel into the mountpoint on the root partition - is there a kernel in /boot when not mounting nvme0n1p1 there?
