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. blind ---

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.

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. ---

It makes sense to try running `sudo mkinitcpio -P` on the installed system (after chrooting from the live ISO/USB)
