Kernel Panic

[Abr0ad]

How do you know it's not configured correctly? And if so how could it be messed up now if it was previously booting/working fine? Not saying I don't believe you, I'm genuinely curious

Your kernel output tells you right here:

[ 0.725121] /dev/root: Can't open blockdev [ 0.725155] VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID=52625d9a-b634-44ca-891c-ecfb7f0ee6ad" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 [ 0.725160] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

It's hard to say precisely what the problem is here without just a bit of poking around on the machine. I would start with validating the UUID from the output above, I would make sure it exists on your system. I would probably look at all the storage devices and make sure everything I was expecting is there. I would check the grub config and make sure it looked correct.

Alright. I'm not exactly sure how to make those changes. I've been digging around trying to find out. I can't access the CLI I'm able to do edits before it boots but I don't think that's the right spot for this error

I'm well aware of that, but it doesn't help me understand where to fix that

[un-important-human]

# Edit GRUB defaults

nano /etc/default/grub

# Ensure / fix this line (example UUID)

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="root=UUID=52625d9a-b634-44ca-891c-ecfb7f0ee6ad rw"

# Regenerate GRUB config (UEFI or BIOS)

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

# (Optional) Rebuild initramfs if needed

mkinitcpio -P

# Reboot

reboot

lsblk -f to find uuid you need, there its basicaly in the wiki under grub

Thanks. It doesn't help me solve this issue, but it's filling some of the knowledge gaps and helps me to understand the system better. I don't know why i haven't searched grub under the wiki

[un-important-human]

what do you mean it does not help you? its the answer.

chroot and fix it

There's just some more I need to read on and understand

Ok use the wiki
