From eric at brothersofgrey.net Sat Apr 1 21:28:45 2023 From: eric at brothersofgrey.net (Eric Burden) Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2023 21:28:45 +0200 Subject: [manjaro-general] Kernel Panic / Initramfs error Message-ID: Hey folks, after updating my Manjaro system today the restart fails with a Kernel Panic. It states that unpacking the Initramfs fails, this is the short error message, I could send a screenshot as well but thought this might be enough for you to see what happened. I'll just install a more recent kernel etc from a live image, so I should be fine, but others might be wondering how to fix this... The error message after reboot is: Initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic at start of compressed archive Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-bock(0,0) CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.4.238-1-MANJARO #1 Thanks for the (usually) flawlessly working great distribution and kind regards, Eric
