Hi there.
To get some packages I decided to switch from stable branch to testing. It resulted in a big update including kernel.
After reboot, I’ve got the following output :
Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
Failed to mount /boot/EFI
Dependency failed for Local File systems
Trying to boot with another kernel is not helping.
I post in comments the outputs from a usb ISO.
manjaro is on a nvme disk
there is a windows install on a second ssd

Currently running: 5.15.25-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux515
On a live session:
manjaro-chroot -a
mkinitcpio -P
update-grub
Check whats in:
cat /etc/fstab
on the local installation.
to collect information about the boot process. This works,
mkinitcpio fails :
[manjaro /]# mkinitcpio -P

Well if the path does not exist, then it cannot write into it.
What do you use? grub or systemd-boot ?
By default it should look like this:
$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux515.preset
# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux515' package
ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-5.15-x86_64"
PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')
#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
default_image="/boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img"
#default_options=""
#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64-fallback.img"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"
Set the correct path.
I use grub.
linux515.preset looks the same as you.
I’m not sure how I should set the correct path
Please show it:
find /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ -name "*.preset" -exec echo -e "\n###\n{}\n###\n" \; -exec cat {} \;
Ok sorry, I made a mistake.
So I have made change to linux515.preset to make it looks like default.
But now I’ve go this error :
mkinitcpio -P

Reinstall ok…

why? Please check if systemd-boot is installed:
pamac list --installed | grep systemd-boot-manager
ls /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/sdboot*
There must be hook which changes the preset and other configs.
systemd-boot is not installed
[manjaro /]# ls /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/sdboot*
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/sdboot*': No such file or directory
I’ve found /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/systemd-boot.hook
Ah well I guess this it…
$ LANG=C pamac search --files /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/systemd-boot.hook
/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/systemd-boot.hook is owned by systemd-kernel-maintenance
That package is clearly only for systemd-boot:
$ LANG=C pamac info systemd-kernel-maintenance

Version : 0.92-1

So remove it:
pamac remove systemd-kernel-maintenance
and reinstall the kernel.
yeah, that’s it !
I can now successfully boot.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help !
