Kernel failing to boot on startup

Is there any real downside to getting rid of this lock?

Just make sure to not delete it while pacman is running

What do you mean by “pacman”?

Pacman is Manjaro’s cli package manager, as in pacman -Syyu

You can check for running pacman processes with:
ps -e | grep pacman

After restarting, it sent me into TTY. It says something about modules 5.9.16-1 modules not found.
It says i’m in an emergency shell

Did you successfully update your system?

grub-update? No :cry:
Can I do it in the emergency shell?

Please chroot again and do the following:

pacman -Syyu
mhwd-kernel -i linux510

and to be on the safe side
update-grub

This will install linux kernel 5.10, for linux59 has reached EOL (End Of Life)

Whenever I turn on the pc, it sends me to the emergency shell, how do I leave? Also, there is no input in the emergency shell

Wait, i’m just being dumb, during the reboot I pressed escape and sent me to the Grub boot menu. I went into 5.4 instead

I recommend installing a second kernel (5.10) just to be safe in case one gets compromised…
You can then remove linux59: sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59

5.10 and 5.9 have usually failed on me so i’d rather use 5.4

Your pc, your choice. So are you saying you’re back in business?

Now, manjaro is working but the option to boot into windows is gone, any ideas?

It’s a known issue, please read the release/issue notes here:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2021-03-08-kernels-plasma-5-21-2-haskell-kodi-grub-kde-dev

Alright, it worked. Kernel 5.9 is failing on me again and Kernel 5.10 won’t even show up, but I can fix these issues.
Thank you @anon88624618 for helping me along the way, really appreciate it. And thank you @stephane

@philm Could somebody please have a look at manjaro-chroot and its weird behaviour?

EDIT: Nevermind, maybe OP used an iso that’s older than 6 months:

@Manjaro-Team A fix exists for quite some time now:
