Please help. After recent update laptop (thinkpad T490s) not booting anymore.

seems the new grub update made your system unbootable. did you use testing or unstable branch?
Hi, thanks for the reply. I’m on stable.
On stable we didn’t push the grub update yet. So it might be a different reason. You can try with an install ISO to chroot into your installed system and gain more info about what might cause that. pacman.log, full error message might give some clues.
ok, so i’ve started.
is this mounted correctly?

part from today partly
It is solved.
I ran
sudo mkinitcpio -P
and rebooted without usb stick.
Well you simply ran out of space on your disk and the update from today didn’t finished completely. Hence that is the issue that your system is now broken:
depmod: ERROR: Could not create index ‘modules.dep’. Output is truncated: No space left on device
So you may want to analyze the disk and remove old not needed things. Also it seems you have BTRFS. Maybe you have automatic backups which created the usage of harddrive space.
yes, apparently. Although the systems shows >30GB space. Solution mentioned above.
Check the space of your /boot partition. Can also happen to run out of space. df -h should give you a clue.
thank you for your help and replies!
And there is a howto if you are out of space on btrfs
