Hi all,
Tried to fire-up reborn to update and upgrade, but boot-up at the start could not get beyond “uevent“ or “uevents” - it was just stuck.
The last time I was in reborn I upgraded the system after a fresh install - all seemed fine…or so i thought.
Any ideas?
All the best and thanks for any suggestions.

Hard to say what is going on without screenshots, but you can usually recover from this using a live ISO to perform boot recovery and regenerate the initramfs. I can help with that if you want to try
I do not thinks this is a simple inintramfs problem, or boot snafu.
I think that this requires a full reinstall - that is if I can be bothered after all there seems to be one problem after another.
It would help if you can explain what problems you have had in detail and go into the live ISO, open your terminal, enter inxi -F, copy the output,then paste it here using </> in the editor tools to format it. As for stability ReBorn is extremely stable. My goto OS’s are Garuda, ReBorn, and BlueStar.
I really dont think what you want will help.
It just wont boot paft “triggering uevents“ - thats it.
I have just downloaded the latest iso as I had installed one from 2024, and will see how that goes.
But thanks:)
How are you trying to install? Ventoy, other?
I do not know what ventoy is, but I used a USB stick this morning for a complete reinstall.
BTW, here is what you wanted

So you are up and running now?
Do you remember if an update was interrupted? Restarting after an incomplete update may render the OS unbootable sometimes if initramfs regeneration was interrupted.
No, that did not happen.
I suppose so, even upgraded 
It makes sense to try running sudo mkinitcpio -P on the installed system (after chrooting from the live ISO/USB)
