CPU+Board upgrade, system doesn't boot correct

Hi @corax,

Personally, I think that is probably the cause. It is probably the drivers. Or something to do with them, in any case.

It might well also be in your fstab file, but I’m not so sure it would boot at all, never mind only incorrectly.

I’d recommend you boot into a live environment, from there enter a chroot environment, and then you can work further. I’m guessing you’d have to, at least, reinstall GPU drivers.

To do so, in the chroot environment, run the following:

mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

This should automagically detect and install the necessary GPU driver.

See here for more:

Hope it helps!

How to chroot

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.

  2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.

  3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.

  4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot encironment:

manjaro-chroot -a
  1. If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.
