Haha I like the thinking, but it returns with an “error: target not found: linux56” interestingly enough
Right, forgot 56 is linux56-rt (realtime) …
I edited my previous post…
it looks like it worked correctly, only the ‘usbhid’ module wasn’t found, but it looks like that isn’t a critical module by any means, especially on an 8 year old laptop interface…so should I restart normally now?
One last step to be certain, update-grub
, then reboot!
it gave me this, is it a problem?

Oh, that is fine!
That’s GRUB trying to probe your live USB …
You may reboot successfully, now!
It worked! Thank you very much!
Sweet!!
Glad it worked !! Thank you for your patience!!
Sure, this is a Manjaro support forum after all. ISOs aren’t that hard to get (Manjaro - Downloads) and perhaps there is even a bootable usb left over from initial installation.
You’re a genius! I had a similar issue and it worked perfectly. You saved my life bro
Hello @The_Quantum_Alpha. I am experiencing the failure to load kernel modules error on boot as well. I also found this post but as I am not an expert with linux, I am struggling to interpret the suggested solution.
I tried your recommend solution, but on pacman -R linux54
it errors with:
checking dependencies…
:: removing linux54 breaks dependency ‘linux54’ required by linux54-nvida-340xx
:: removing linux54 breaks dependency ‘linux54’ required by linux54-virtualbox-host-modules
It was suggested to me to use mhwd-kernel -r linux54
instead. With that in mind, would the following be the correct command to resolve the load kernel modules error?
sudo pacman -S linux510 && mkinitcpio -P && mhwd-kernel -r linux54 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -S linux54 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -R linux510 && mkinitcpio -P
Thanks!
You can indeed give it a shot!
If not, let me know!
Let’s see
Try the following command : sudo pacman -S linux510 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -Rdd linux 54 linux54-nvidia-340xx linux54-virtualbox-host-modules && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -S linux54 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -R linux510 && mkinitcpio -P
This time I got the following two errors:
error: target not found: linux
error: target not found: 54
Should the command be changed to sudo pacman -S linux510 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -Rdd linux54 linux54-nvidia-340xx linux54-virtualbox-host-modules && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -S linux54 && mkinitcpio -P && pacman -R linux510 && mkinitcpio -P
?
Oups! My bad, sorry!
Indeed, remove that space!
That command finished. I will run update-grub
and then reboot. Hopefully the kernel is able to load on reboot.
The screen is black after reboot. I am able to select Manjaro Linux on boot screen, but just get black screen. I can still access TTY2.
is your GPU AMD, may I ask?
Hi @The_Quantum_Alpha, I hope this answers your GPU question
