Failed to Load Kernel or File Systems after added SSD and copy

Support
1

Ok So my problem is every time I start or shut off my PC it says this message “Failed to Load Kernel or File Systems”
It started after I got a new Hard drive, the System was installed on an SSD, then I loaded a time shift backup for installing it on a different (m2 SSD) after I finished the time shift backup restore on my new SSD I used KDE Partition manager to Repartition the old system drive, as a normal ext4, then this problem started, is there a way to fix this? Not sure if this is a boot or kernel issue.
Addition: my Computer still starts and works normally.

you have to check all UUID

sudo lsblk -fs 
cat /etc/fstab

/etc/fstab: static file system information.

Use ‘blkid’ to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may

be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if

disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

UUID=4b9f9e25-e57c-42f3-8041-92e05db38e0a / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

that is the other output

i Dont see anything wrong with this.

If this is your / partition then your fstab entry for / is wrong as the UUID differ:

nvme0n1p2: c5e64856-38dc-47fa-bf42-3e0c3219fbc3
fstab: 4b9f9e25-e57c-42f3-8041-92e05db38e0a

Also, the /boot/efi partition entry with UUID 42CB-FE79 is mssing in your fstab.

It’s amazing that you still can boot. :thinking:

you have to boot with USB iso manjaro ( live )
and update /etc/fstab by chroot

open a terminal

sudo manjaro-chroot -a ( type 1 if only one line appears )
nano /etc/fstab ( update and save Ctrl+X )
exit ( quit chroot )

your /etc/fstab should be

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system>                           <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
UUID=42CB-FE79 			            	  /boot/efi      vfat    defaults,noatime,discard 0       2
UUID=c5e64856-38dc-47fa-bf42-3e0c3219fbc3 /              ext4    defaults,noatime,discard 0       1
tmpfs                                     /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
