Hello, this is my first post here.
The Manjaro installation used to run fine for a couple of weeks. One day, the system freezed and crashed but would boot again. This happened several times and now it doesn’t boot anymore.
(Side note: this happened before on the same computer with Linux Mint 20.1. I changed to Manjaro because of this, hoping it was a compability error.)
When I try to boot I get a black screen with some error messages starting with:
switch root: failed to execute /sbin/init: Input/output error
Kernel panic …
(Screenshots are not allowed here and I have no other option to copy the text.)
Please help me to find out whether this is an hardware issue or not. In either way please help me fix it, thank you.
Here is the results of inxi, manjaro chroot, and dmesg run from a live USB version:
