The beloved lightweight distro
I just upgraded and didn't have any issues. I'm not experienced in this regard at all. But just to be sure, did you execute the following after the upgrade?
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Assuming of course your grub setup doesn't differ from mine. These two commands are all I know about grub troubleshooting...
Just installed the package... Rebooted... No issue... Did not install via grub-install yet though... Will be formating my system soon anyway so I will let you know if i get the same issue.
I have the very same problem. Grub-installed and mkconfig as usual and never had secure boot enabled.
Just booted from USB, chrooted in, rebuilt the images (mkinitcpio -P), then repeated the grub commands, no luck.
Time to downgrade grub, I guess...
ps. First time I found a Fediverse thread for a tech problem, so yay, the crawlers do see it.
Had the problem only on one machine. Do you have, by chance, a MSI motherboard? Can't myself think of other causes and having the kernel and initrd on btrfs instead of ext4 can't be the problem?
No MSI board and fs is ext4 so that cannot be it either. I downgraded for now but also decided to switch to systemd-boot since this is not the first time GRUB causes trouble for me...
Do you have GRUB installed into the ESPs fallback path? (esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI) I haven't tried grub-install --removable yet, but maybe stuff got confused.
No, I only had grub in its default path. I've folded now though. Moved to systemd-boot. Works fine and config seems cleaner. Cannot recommend with just a few days of experience of course.
I find systemd-boot so much easier to use and it's configuration is much smaller. So maybe consider to switch (if you are on UEFI).
