modules for one kernel have been deleted by kernel-alive
I found a problem (potentially a bug) while upgrading kernels in manjaro. (I did use trizen, but think this may be a general problem)
The problem: In some situations there seems to be created an .old file, when it should not. Then at next boot the dir /lib/modules/5.14.10-1-MANJARO will be deleted. After that you can´t boot with this kernel any more. This has happened to me at least 2 times in the last year. Each time i was at a loss why the dir /lib/modules/x.x.x-xMANJARO suddenly was missing.
But every time:
- In the snapshot before the problem there was a .old file existing
- In the snapshot after that the dir /lib/modules/x.x.x-xMANJARO was missing
I do have btrfs, and i do have 3 kernels ready ;-)
Maybe this happened, when i
- updated manjaro while running kernel 5.10
- then bootet into 5.14 (to test if 5.14 works korrekt)
- then bootet into 5.10 (bang - the modules of 5.10 are missing)
Or it could have been the other way
- updated manjaro while running kernel 5.14
- then bootet into 5.10 (to test if 5.10 still works korrekt)
- then bootet into 5.14 (bang - the modules of 5.14 are missing)
