now I can boot into the popOs without any error.
now I’m stuck at
error: symbol grub_debug_malloc not found
Looks like a broken initramfs images. Show
lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img | grep usr/lib
lsinitcpio -c /boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img
lsinitcpio -a /boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img
This is unrelated, and you did that with messing with grub just now or something.
This is even less related and has nothing to do with what you posted in the beginning.
Sounds to me like you have different versions of grub, one that works to boot popOS but not manjaro.
When grub is run by the UEFI it accesses files on your root partition of the OS you’re booting, eg. from different partitions.
@zbe @Zesko can you guys help him to fix his grub for both OS’s 
No. This topic isn’t about that. OP should open a new one (if he can’t find a solution with search).

# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)

This all looks fine to me. At this point I’d just go refresh mirrors and update again - in chroot.
And check
pacman -Qkk 1>/dev/null
for any missing/broken files (there are always some errors there you can ignore though) and reinstall those packages.
Or just reinstall every package.
Well all of this after you fix/reinstall you grub and see if you still can’t boot.

You need to check all packages if they are corrupted (don’t match their checksum).

Grub package looks OK, rest you can ignore these errors (because checksums of linux515 are for Arch Linux.).
But there is a similar issue from EOS forum.
Someone said deleting all of the boot entries in /boot/efi/EFI and then reinstalling grub to solve the issue.

Please don’t write something unrelated for the third time and even mark it as a solution. By this logic anyone who is stuck in initramfs should commented /mnt/hdd from /etc/fstab?
We don’t know what is the solution because we don’t know what even the problem was, nor what you did to fix it. Topics like this just make searching the internet more and more useless.

This topic already is not searchable because of
- Images are used instead of text in important places
- An inxi is missing
- The creator of the thread didn’t say anything about the history
- It was not analyzed which grub was started via uefi (there are 2 hard drives, each with an EFI partition)
I think there was a second Linux installed. Because there was no proper planning, control over the boot process was lost. The update then changed the wrong grub.cfg. …
To get such things under control I wrote maxi:
You can also use maxi -eg
to collect information about the boot process. This works,
- when you are in your running system (with CTRL+ALT+F2).
- And also in a live environment
