I’m currently using 5.8.11-1-MANJARO kernel and had trouble creating a virtual machine in vmware player. So in the forums I read that I should use a 5.7 kernel and thought I should give it a shot. In GRUB screen I select the 5.7.19-2-MANJARO kernel, which I have installed. But after a few moments I get greeted by “[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules”. Nevertheless, after rebooting and selecting 5.8.11-1-MANJARO kernel, the system boots up normally.
What should I do to change the kernel to 5.7? Or what am I doing wrong?
But I can’t boot into kernel 5.7. When in GRUB screen I select the 5.7 kernel, I get an error saying “[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules” and a few moments later a black screen with a white underscore symbol.

That kernel is EOL, don’t waste time getting things to work with that one.
If you need a fallback kernel, use 5.4 - it’s an LTS kernel and will be supported for quite some time, see The Linux Kernel Archives - Releases
