Thanks,
interesting I’ll keep that in mind if other fixes won’t work.
what is this?:
thats a dead kernel for a very long time…
install a newer one the 5.15 lts for example, boot with it, and uninstall the 5.9
just to be sure post also output from:
mhwd-kernel -li
also you dont have any proper nvidia drivers installed:
so install them with:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
reboot and test if you have still issues with boot when running a proper kernel and proper video drivers
if it still happens, you can post logs from the failed boot:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager

Thanks, I’ll try and get back when I’m done!!
.oO 
I’m a total noob! Where can I learn this stuff? Oo.
So I updated the kernel, restarted, removed the old one and than updated the graphicscard which worked, alhtough their were some warnings (like something may not be available).
Upon restarting (which hasn’t shown the old error 5 times out of 5) I however cannot enter manjaro anymore. Entering the correct password makes the login screen fade away and reappear.
(…reminding me of “Wild Magic” in Baldur’s Gate 2/ D&D

can you enter in the stuck screen into TTY: ctrl+alt+f2 or f1-f6 keys, enter your username, password, and enable early loading:
sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and edit the modules section to look like this:
MODULES=(i915 nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)
save it with ctrl+x, press Y, and update it:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot:
systemctl reboot
and see if it helped
I hope it’s ok to post a photo of sudo mkinitcpio -P
( Does the error hint at the old kernel that I removed?)
yes the kernel was not properly removed, there are some leftovers…
but first, did you rebooted after you edited the MODULES?
and do you boot normally now?
I did follow your instructions, so yes. The boot worked normally since your original fix. Approx. 10 out of 10 times, which indicates that it worked, though it’s not 100% verified. (Before the fix sometimes it worked oftentimes and then, time and again it didn’t. But I’m optimistic.)
so you still have issues with the 5.15 kernel and the proper nvidia drivers?

you can remove this:
sudo rm /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux59.preset
rerun:
sudo mkinitcpio -P && sudo update-grub
now add the ibt parameter:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and inside this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter:
ibt=off
dont remove anything, just add it to existing parameters, save the file with ctrl+x, press Y, update grub:
sudo update-grub
now install the 61 kernel:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux61
reboot and boot with it and see how it works with it
I did everything you proposed and afterwards the problem unfortunately remains.
(I placed the ibt=off at the end of that line (inside the quotes).)
so the previous one was the failed one? if yes provide logs:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager
I meant that I’m still in a login loop after booting
but you say above that you are able to boot after you force shut down?
I don’t really understand.
Currently the computer boots regularly, but when I enter my password in the login screen, the screen shortly fades as if entering the desktop, but then the login prompt reappears
i mean this:
this is ‘fixed’. but now you can enter into desktop, after you type your password in the log in screen?
Yes this seems to be fixed. (Re)booting now seems to work without the original problem
And I cannot enter the desktop. The login prompt just keeps reappearing when I enter the correct password
