I am currently using linux418 and I am trying to update to linux58. When doing so, I encounter the following error.
I am not sure how to proceed, so I’m really thankful for any advice.
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58

Right, I should have checked that first. Basically, I am getting the exact same error when I try to update my system:

I think this solved my issue:
sudo rm /etc/mtab
sudo ln -s /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab
Found it here: [Solved] Pacman: Could not determine root mount point / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums
Important edit: This did not really solve my issue. I ended up in the emergency shell. What really helped me then was this:
[SOLVED] cannot boot: mount /new_root: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums Essentially, I booted into a fallback and then removed the guest user of Manjaro KDE.
