Hello!
I looked at some similar topics:
- Kernel out of sync
- Kernel version is different in Manjaro Settings Manager and uname -r - #10 by non_space
-
Boot for specific kernel version
but couldn’t find a solution to my problem.
If I do:
pacman -Q linux && uname -r
:
I get:
linux510 5.10.36-2
5.4.112-1-MANJARO
I’m using EFI boot so as far as I learned is that I’m not able to see the GRUB menu (to select the proper kernel version) at boot.
Update: I just figured out I can get the GRUB menu with holding the SHIFT key during boot, but it only shows 2 identical entries for 5.4.112-1.
I tried switching to a different kernel, but always ended up booting into 5.4.112-1.
What I don’t understand is where does this version come from if I don’t even have it installed on my machine?
Things I tried:
- booted numerous times
- booted into Live USB and tried to switch kernel versions,
update-grub
- I removed the pacman cache for the .112 version.
- I looked at the
/etc/default/grub
and since I hadGRUB_DEFAULT=saved
andGRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
I wondered if the version was somehow saved/cached somewhere so I changedGRUB_DEFAULT=0
and commented out the other
grep -E -i '(vmlinuz|menuentry )' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
gives me:
menuentry 'Manjaro Linux' --class manjaro --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-aca5a27a-5b1c-4fe3-a56f-d1185bde7517' {
