"loadkmap: short read" error

Get the error in title, next line “Error: failed to mount: ‘UID: XXX’ on real root. You are now dropped into emergency shell. sh: can’t access tty: job control off”

Background, install stable update on Friday, restart with no issues. Used yesterday, no issues. Turned on this morning with above error.

Did try a previous snapshot, get the same error.

That says it all - doesn’t it?

Your file system on the root could be damaged.

You will need this

[root tip] [recovery] Basic Manjaro Linux Rescue and Recovery

You will need to fix the file system (before chroot) - if that is the issue - but you won’t know until you checked.

EDIT:
If the issue is file system damage - be sure to use the correct procedure.
