I installed the 6.11 kernel, and I got some strange messages. I am not sure it was OK. Please review the following log messages and tell me the installation went well or not.

(5/5) Updating Kernel initcpios for Nvidia-DRM...
Done ...
It went well.
However:
you should be aware that this kernel may become EOL soon or at some time.
Install at least one that is labelled LTS.
Or two.
6.11 will be phased out eventually
in the GUI manjaro-settings-manager
choose and install
boot into one of them
remove what you don’t want - except the one you are currently using …
as you don’t want to pull the rug from under your feet - and the system won’t let you do it either
You wrote: “it will be remembered for next time, as long as /etc/default/grub contains GRUB_DEFAULT=saved”.
In the GRUB advanced menu that shows still the 6.9 kernel.
Is there another way communicate with GRUB: please take my setting and remember that?
For the record, when I edit the grub config with ‘e’ the system boots well with the kernel 6.11.
In the case of there are any other kernels I would wrote that. But I didn’t wrote.
So, as I wrote in the grub menu is the 6.9 kernel option.
Should I wrote there is no the 5.5 kernel, there is no 5.9 kernel, there is no 6.5, 6.6, 6.9, 6.10? Why?
I did read that, which is why was was asking for clarification.
So list the files in /boot, so we can see if the correct files are there. I also posted the command to update grub, the output of which could be helpful, even if the command itself doesn’t fix it.
I guess that is my fault I didn’t see any requirement from you to clarify if any others were listed. Could you be so kind to point out in which your post contains that. I think I must to learn to read better posts.
It seems grub doesn’t have any entries for the installed kernels but does have an old entry for 6.9, which is no longer installed.
I was thinking it may have been an issue I had recently, the initramfs had no version in the filename, but upon further inspection this indicates otherwise:
