Hiberantion - generating initramfs #2

Open mandriv opened 2 years ago

mandriv commented 2 years ago

In here https://github.com/White-Oak/arch-setup-for-dummies/blob/master/hibernate-to-disk.md point 6. Run mkinitcpio -p linux to generate initramfs.:

mkinitcpio -p linux
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> ERROR: Unable to write to /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'fallback'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect
==> ERROR: Unable to write to /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img

I think this should be sudoed:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

Yes, if you are not root this should be run as sudo. Otherwise it will not have permission to store the newly generated image.
