Boot problem

[Jester]

Heya. So, I have a dualbood win7/manjaro xfce system and I've recently logged into linux to update the system and keep it up to date and whatnot. I ran the usual

sudo pacman -Syu

and the total update came to about ~2 gig or somesuch. I set it to run and left. Now for some reason in linux when the system goes into standby or energy saving or whatever mode sometimes when I wake the PC back on it just shows flashing underscore dash in the upped left corner and I can't switch to another tty or do anything other than reboot, and it decided to do it right in the middle of system update.

The system stopped booting afterwards and if I launch it in text mode instead of splash I get this output.

I am currently downloading latest manjaro xfce iso to make a boot drive, any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated, thank you.

This guide aims to help you to apply the recommendation successfully and as easily as possible. There are pictures so you can see what it looks like before actually doing it yourself. What does "within a tty" actually mean? It means to do the system upgrade in a pure command line interface (CLI), outside of your graphical environment. How do I do a system upgrade…

I can't use second link because my keyboard doesn't work on the error screen, however, I did everything in the first link and it still won't boot. I booted into my live media again and got this.

Is there anything else I can try?

Is there anything else I can try?

In chroot

mkinitcpio -P
update-grub
exit

If there are error messages from those commands, post them. Else reboot.

Thank you for your suggestion. I ran the commands and here is the output that I got. The error message that I get at boot is still the same as in the first post photo.

kernel 4.19 failed to update.
Boot to another one (4.14, 4.9..) and re-install 4.19 from MSM or mhwd-kernel.
