452: out of range pointer: 0x100010 after failed update

During an update yesterday there were several data problems with my 4G connexion & i ended up with an unbootable system. I may have powered off at some point when i shouldn’t have as well!

I booted up a live usb & restored a timeshift snapshot from well before the issue, which completed ok.

This is a dual boot setup with Win7. Probem is the grub menu looks correct but all choices lead to the “452: out of range pointer error” incl Win7.

Win7 is on a sep drive to Manjaro. Legacy Bios system.

I have checked fstab & my ext4 & swap partitions are listed ok. Ran grub-mkconfig under manjaro-chroot & looks ok. Mhwd shows the two kernels listed are installed.

I could reinstall but will this actually fix it?

Thanks for any suggestions

Its not a UEFI system & my live usb boots fine so i don’t think that helps me thanks.

I did see that link, there are so few that come up on a search.

In preparing to add a new ssd & do a fresh install I decided to check with just my W7 hdd. System didn’t boot so unplugged hdd & put the ssd with Manjaro back & it booted!

Rebuit grub which cleared all mention of W7 & that’s it, all working again & fully updated.

Guess my issues earlier messud up the W7 hdd somewhere. Don’t need it so all is good again.
