Another boot issue

I am also having this same problem after installing updates. then I rebooted and now I cant get back to the desktop.
maybe I’m just dumb but from what I understand it’s because I updated the kernel and to fix it I either need to go back to the previous kernel or update to a newer kernel. the only problem is I cant get back to the desktop to change the kernel.
but this post was from 9 months ago so I’m not even sure that this is the reason why I’m having this problem. i need help.

manjaro wiki kernel change:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manjaro_Kernels

And allways install 2 kernels (one LTS) so you can switch when necessary

those all involve being able to boot onto the operating system I cant get in the OS.
how do I get past this screen with the error?

somehow I was able to get into the OS. so I installed 2 other LTS kernels.
but when I go to boot from either one in grub I get the same error message.

and now I can’t get back into the OS.
I did find that while I’m on that screen if I mash my keyboard I can get to a terminal of some kind and I can log in. I ran the mhwd-kernel -li command and I could see that I have 3 kernels installed.
but I’m not sure what to do with that to fix my problem.

sooo… still no solution to this problem.
I really don’t want to have to reinstall the OS.
so I guess it’s not the kernel because I tried other kernels. unless all 3 kernels I tried all had the same problem. maybe it’s something I installed?
what does the error even mean?
What’s an IRQ handler? and what vector is it referring to?

can you report

inxi -Fza

I assume this is a command of some kind you want me to type in.
where do you want me to input it?
in Grub terminal?
or in the terminal I was able to get to by mashing my keyboard while its stuck on that boot screen?

Please help. I hate having to use windows.

is any USB live manjaro working ?
if so boot on USB live manjaro
open a terminal & browser on this topic
and returns

inxi -Fza

Try to switch the IOMMU setting in BIOS.

Also your BIOS is very outdated.

And I hope you’re not using the 4.x series kernel with your modern hardware. Use latest kernels.

can you please returns

sudo pacman-mirrors -c all
sudo pacman -Syyu

this was from my old installation of manjaro so the kernel is equally as old.
I am using a much newer kernel on my new installation of manjaro.

what is this?
is this a list of all the things I have installed?

I can get into the terminal if someone knowledgeable can guide me through fixing this problem.
finding out why I’m getting this error then fixing the problem.
please I really don’t want to have to reinstall.
if i knew what this error meant then i might be able to figure out what i did to break it.

nobody can help me?

on my side if I don’t get a reply to my message I’m not wasting more time so maybe reply to messages.

I believe I did reply to you.
but regardless, I updated my BIOS and that didn’t fix it. I couldn’t find IOMMU. what is IOMMU?

You did reply, but not to my message. I even quoted so it is crystal clear what I’m talking about.

Search for IOMMU in the BIOS manual.

Also when you don’t know something, good practice is to search for the word on a search engine to at least try to understand iommu - Google Suche

ok IOMMU was on auto so I tried enabled and disabled and neither worked.
