Arch Linux

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue while trying to run dracut on my Arch Linux system. When I execute the command dracut -f, I receive the following error:

Can't write to /efi/f515a4a11be148a580c14dcbdcc58ef9/6.16.4-zen1-1-zen: Directory /efi/f515a4a11be148a580c14dcbdcc58ef9/6.16.4-zen1-1-zen does not exist or is not accessible.

• Kernel Version: 6.16.4-zen1-1-zen
• Dracut Version: 108
• The EFI partition is mounted correctly:

  /dev/nvme1n1p1 on /efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)
  

• The permissions for the /efi directory are as follows:

  drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 21  2022 /efi/EFI
  

• There are no logs in /var/log/dracut.log.
• I have not made any recent changes to my system that I believe would affect the boot process.
• Interestingly, when I update the kernel using yay linux, dracut can regenerate the initrd without any issues:

  /efi ❯❯❯ yay -S linux
  Sync Explicit (1): linux-6.16.4.arch1-1
  warning: linux-6.16.4.arch1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
  ...
  (3/4) Updating initramfs with dracut
  --> Building initramfs for linux (6.16.4-arch1-1)
  

Questions:

• Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to resolve this?
• Are there any additional checks or commands I should run to diagnose the problem further?

Thank you for your help!
