this is a mess…
so uninstall them again:
pacman -R linux510 linux518
then run again:
update-grub
mkinitcpio -P
and post again output from these:
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*
sudo ls /boot/initramfs-*
sudo ls /boot/vmlinuz-*
sudo ls /usr/lib/modules/*

49

Yup, it sure is a mess. And as not very nice as spending Sunday evening fixing my computer is, I very much appreciate you helping fix somobody else’s. So Thanks for that.

Anyway, the output of it all

it cannot find the directories… are you chrooted properly?
close terminal, open it again, and chroot again:
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
then output from:
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*
ls /boot/initramfs-*
ls /boot/vmlinuz-*
ls /usr/lib/modules/*

I would think I am, but just in case, I just opened a new terminal

so remove the leftovers:
rm /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset.pacsave
then check again if its empty:
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*

53

manjaro /]# rm /etc/mkinitcpio.d/.preset.pacsave
[manjaro /]# ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/
ls: cannot access ‘/etc/mkinitcpio.d/*’: No such file or directory
[manjaro /]#

54

its empty, so install the 5.10:
mhwd-kernel -i linux510

55

it still won’t let me, so I am using pacman again to install.
