just to be sure, install the 5.10 kernel:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
when its done run again:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Still getting

damn …it didnt detect the 5.10 kernel … i really have no idea … i would suggest to close this topic, since the grub is being detected and create a new topic - something like: 'mkinitcpio command doesnt work - doesnt detects kernels'
and provide info that you are getting these errors:
(16/44) Updating linux initcpios...
call to execv failed (Permission denied)
error: command failed to execute correctly
and that you tried uninstalling mkinitcpio + its dependencies, then installing it back, and it still doesnt work …
we should have also reinstalled pacman and its dependecies, i think this could help … so what do you say? lets give it a try
I went to eat just now. I’ll create a new topic.
ok… lets try reinstall the pacman … install:
sudo pacman -S arch-install-scripts
-you do it from your system, no need to use live usb
reinstall pacman + deps:
sudo pacstrap -i bash pacman glibc libarchive curl gpgme gettext gawk coreutils gnupg grep fakeroot perl pacman-mirrors appstream-glib base libpamac mhwd packagekit pkgfile manjaro-keyring
if there are no errors, uninstall the 510 kernel:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux510
then install it again:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
check with:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
➜ ~ sudo pacstrap -i bash pacman glibc libarchive curl gpgme gettext gawk coreutils gnupg grep fakeroot perl pacman-mirrors appstream-glib base libpamac mhwd packagekit pkgfile manjaro-keyring
==> ERROR: bash is not a directory
damn … just checked and it wont work in normal system unfortunately …
so you have to boot again into live usb:
install:
sudo pacman -S arch-install-scripts
mount:
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt
reinstall:
sudo pacstrap -i /mnt bash pacman glibc libarchive curl gpgme gettext gawk coreutils gnupg grep fakeroot perl pacman-mirrors appstream-glib base libpamac mhwd packagekit pkgfile manjaro-keyring
if there are no errors, unmount:
sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p5
then chroot and remove the 5.10 kernel:
mhwd-kernel -r linux510
then install it again:
mhwd-kernel -i linux510
check with:
mkinitcpio -P
if it didnt work, then hopefully someone will help you out in the new topic you created …

I’m getting these errors when I tried to install kernel.
(4/7) Updating linux initcpios...
call to execv failed (Permission denied)
error: command failed to execute correctly
I tried uninstalling mkinitcpio + its dependencies, then installing it back, and it still doesnt work. I also reinstalled pacman and its dependecies but it didn’t help.
- Post command with full output.
- What thought process made you think that this has anything to do with detecting kernels?
- Post

I was told that the 5.10 kernel was not detected. Here’s mkinitcpio output:

Probably this:
You can also use Maxi
to collect information about the boot process and kernels. This works,
- when you are in your running system (with CTRL+ALT+F2).
- And also in a live environment

Does the same happen if you install, say, linux519?
Also post output of pacman -Qi libwacom.
Yes

This has nothing to do with mkinitcpio, but I still wonder - post output of:

And then
