Hi @floating, and welcome!

I’m no expert and might be completely wrong here, but it almost looks, at least to me, that your kernel is missing somehow. Also, those commands aren’t correct. At least, most of them are redundant.

But I think you were going in the correct direction. I think you must install a kernel from chroot. So let’s try that:

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.

Also, be sure to read the messages. Errors are bad and potentially dangerous if you don’t pay attention to them, and ignore the incorrect ones.

In the chroot environment, reinstall the kernel:

mwhd-kernel --install linux515

This will install kernel version 5.15, which is LTS.

When it’s done with no errors, exit the chroot environment:

exit

…reboot and see if it helped. If there were errors, reply to this topic and paste/provide them. The same if this didn’t work.

Hope it helps!
