My laptop runs on 5.15.28-1 kernel. I was getting ready to install waydroid. i needed to install two kernel modules (ashmem and binder). In order to do so, I had to install the kernel headers. After I did so, I noticed it was getting late, so I decided to stop and to continue the next day. Then I shut down the computer.
The next day, I switched on my laptop. It showed the asus logo, then the grub menu. After the grub countdown, it showed again the asus logo and it kept showing it. After 5 minutes, I forcibly rebooted the computer. When it rebooted, it hung once again in the same way as before.
Then I begun looking for a solution on the internet. I found this thread: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules and this thread: [solved] Boot : failed to start load kernel module . The problems they solved weren’t the same as mine, but they gave me a hint.
I made a manjaro live usb stick, booted from it and ran manjaro-chroot as root. Then I removed the headers, as it was the last thing I did before the issue appeared. Then I rebooted the computer from its internal HDD. It ran as usual and everything worked fine.
In order to install those two modules, I tried other kernels. Every one of them worked fine until I installed the headers. Every time it would keep hanging until I removed the headers.
I can’t find any solution to this issue on the internet.
My laptop is a Asus Zenbook UX303LA, it has an Intel Core i7-4510U , 12GB of RAM, and an Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics adapter. It has a dual boot configuration (Manjaro Linux and MS Windows 11). As a shell, I use zsh.
P.S: I’m sorry that I probably killed the English language, but it isn’t my native language.
Update: I was asked to run inxi and to post its output. Here it is:
