Manjaro not booting after system upgrade

I recently upgraded most aspects of my system, including moving to a new cpu and motherboard (AMD FX-8320 on AM3+ to Ryzen 7 5700X on AM4, new mobo: MSI B550-A Pro) and installing additional drives (NVMe-SSD, currently empty, plus new Blu-Ray drive, removing two old IDE optical drives). Now Manjaro no longer boots. Grub boots fine in CMS-Mode and so does Windows (including from Grub), but choosing Manjaro just gives me a black screen with no useful information.
I already tried chmod-manjaro and update-grub from a live stick, but it didn’t help. I think I’m out of my depth here.

You likely need to change driver config and more.

You need to boot either with

  1. fallback initrd
  2. chroot into the system and rebuild initrd

you need with USB live iso manjaro ,

  • do a chroot
  • rebuild img
  • restore Grub entry

check this point before

For UEFi and /boot/efi

sudo manjaro-chroot -a
efibootmgr -v
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck    ( for UEFI + /boot/efi)
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg 
mkinitcpio -P
efibootmgr -v
exit

Thanks, I checked through your guides an apparantly my problem is not Grub issue at all and rather a graphics driver issue. I also upgrade from an GCN-GPU to an RDNA2-GPU and it seems my system stubbornly tries to use the old ati drivers instead of amdgpu. Typing startx I get (EE) Fatal server error:(EE) no screens found. I have some trouble solving this though. The stuff I find by search all either seem to deal NVIDEA stuff or are don’t really seem to fit my case.
