Details

Description:

Since a few weeks boot sometimes fails after system upgrade with the output:

mount: /new_root: no filesystem type specified.
Your are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]#

Note, that I installed arch the lazy way by installing EndeavourOS. I don't think this is the problem, though.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Upgrade via pacman -Syu (see upgrade.jpeg)
2) Boot failure (see boot_failure.jpeg)
3) Reboot in recovery mode
4) Reinstall linux via pacman -S linux (see fix.jpeg)
5) Regular reboot succeeds

You'll need to talk to your distro. Derivative distros are not supported here [1]
