Hi, Manjaro 20.2 live usb does not boot in my Asus laptop. During boot I get lot of
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules errors
I didn’t found any solution to this and think this could be due to the fact that linux kernel version in live USB is not compatible to my laptop.
As a solution to this I checked archive download page to download an older version of ISO but the page there says Installation using an archived ISO may succeed but impossible to update due to ABI changes.
So wondering whether I will be able to update to latest packages if I install using 20.1.
Would you recommend to install using Manjaro testing branch?
So were you able to start the system with an older iso? If so could you please provide some general information regarding the device with inxi -Fazy?
No, didn’t tried older iso, just wanted to know whether it is a good idea to do it since the page there advice against it.
But using Kubuntu right now, here’s the inxi -Fazy output
Not able to post full output due to restrictions.

By all means, please try older ISO and see if you can catch a regression.
Tried testing ISO, its booted and installed fine.
Great. See if you can fully update your system so you have it 100% updated and working. If system fails after updating one of the packages you will know what caused the problem and can revert that one package.
