Hi guys, today i have updated the system but now at the boot i have the following errors:
error: file ‘boot/vmlinuz-5.8-x86_64’ not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.
What i have to do?

The similar issue:

Linux Kernel 58 was removed by some accident of pacman.
You need boot into a Manjaro LIVE ISO on USB to fix your system with the command
sudo manjaro-chroot [mount with your system partition]
Password: manjaro

Then sudo pacman -Syyu linux54

Then reboot.

This sounds like you have interrupted the update process or it was disturbed some how, right?

no, the update has not been interrupted and I have not received any errors on the terminal

Kernel 5.8 has been removed from the repos by now. Can that be a cause? (Disclaimer: no linux specialist here :wink:)

I had the exact same issue. Eventually solved the problem after an extensive trial and error.

I tried the GRUB way with bash and nano, but thing is for some reason my keyboard would not type in the GRUB command line or evoke timeshift functions.

So, I checked the hardware and everything checked out, then booted into the LIVE installation CD, and instead of trying CHROOT or copying files over or editing cfg files, I just installed Manjaro again, but keeping all data and files intact by manually setting the partitions.

I was able to run the manjaro again with most of the settings and files intact, but it crashed again due to duplicate file errors. Found out that old installation files were present and causing conflict. So I went into the var folder and deleted all the duplication files manually. Then did the -Syu update.

So far, everything is working fine.

Hope this experience helps. By the way, I am a new comer to Linux and Manjaro.
