Technical Issues and Assistance

#1

Hello Everyone,
Last night I updated my manjaro system to the latest Manjaro Stable branch and everything seemed to go well, nothing was interupted and I didnt see any errors, I even rebooted my system to make sure that everything was alright and it worked. However when I tried to run the system in the morning, I started getting the boot error Failed to load kernel modules and I am no longer able to boot.

I tried the solutions posted here



but it didnt solve anything. I am not able to open a tty but am able to chroot into the system.
Any help would be appreciated

  1. Boot from the Manjaro USB stick.
  2. chroot into the system.
  3. mkinitcpio -P.
  4. exit chroot.
#3

I already tried that but it didnt fix the issue.

#4

What operating system do you have on your computer?

#5

Manjaro Gnome with 3 kernels available, 4.19, 5.3 and 5.4

#6

Only this OS?
Then post grub.cfg.
When does this error occur? With kernel 4..19, 5.3, 5.4?

#7

I have only this OS installed on that system.
it occurs with all three kernels.
here is the grub.cfg from /boot/grub/

#8

The grub.cfg is OK.
Then, can you post the error message?

#9

I can try to click a picture but i doubt i can it comes for a second then goes away in the boot screen. After the boot sequence fails the screen is blank with a single _.

#10

Can you chroot into the system and check dmesg for errors?

#11

Here is dmesg


There werent any errors as far as i could see

#12

The system must be updated (kernel 4.19.28).
Have you tried to update the system with chroot?

#13

Yeah it shows me theres nothing to do.
the dmesg from chroot is of the OS of the usb and not the actual system as my os is 4.19.91

#14

Dmesg shows a kernel version 4.19.28-1.

#15

dmesg is showing the kernel version of the boot drive. If you look into in the grub.cfg the kernel version is 4.19.91.
How do I access the dmesg with chroot?

#16

In post #9, you show dmesg.
The first lines of dmesg shows the kernel version:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 4.19.28-1-MANJARO (builduser@development) (gcc version 8.2.1 20181127 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 10 08:32:42 UTC 2019

Possible solutions:

  1. Update the system with chroot
  2. Reinstall the system

#17

yeah that is the kernel version of the live usb. Chroot can only access the kernel that is running and not of the failed kernel.

  1. I already did that and it shows me there's nothing to do.
  2. Im really looking for an alternative to this.
#18

Try to reinstall your kernels after manjaro-chrooting into your system using
mhwd-kernel command. Read the wiki carefully:

#19

Which version of the Manjaro USB stick are you using?

#20

it shows Illyria 18.04 in manjaro Hello.
