Hi,
Whenever I upgrade my Linux kernel, my computer never properly boots. I
have to boot into archiso and reinstall the kernel in chroot before I
can get it booting again.
Not very sure where to begin looking, but it's an issue that has been
bugging me for a good while now. The fix for it is easy enough which is
why I've put off mentioning it before now.
A common issue is that a split /boot partition isn't mounted, which
causes the kernel upgrade to place new kernels and initrds in the root
partition's /boot directory instead.
A good practice is to set chattr +i on directories that are mount
points for filesystems.
Why would/should I want to do that?
What would be the advantage for doing so?
I ask this because I have not done so since running Linux since 1995.
This is the first time I have seen this recommendation.
