regarding mkinitcpio … has anyone checked the contents of:
/usr/share/mkinitcpio/hook.preset of the effected vm’s?
Yes.
Just because something is in the repos does not mean you should have it installed. But its your system.
It seems it was not the source of this issue though.
I do find it interesting that most (if not all?) of the reported issues are in VM.
Pacnews may be another thing?
pacdiff -o

@scarwire did you also removed the pacsave files? Cos of this:
+install_preset() {
+ local pkgbase="$1" preset="$2"
+
+ if [[ ! -e "$preset" ]]; then
+ if [[ -e "$preset.pacsave" ]]; then
+ # move the pacsave to the template
+ mv -- "${preset}.pacsave" "$preset"
+ else
+ # create the preset from the template
+ sed "s|%KERNELBASE%|${kernelbase}|g" /usr/share/mkinitcpio/hook.preset \
+ | install -Dm644 /dev/stdin "$preset"
+ fi
+ fi
+}
@Hanzel please remove the following from your system and call
mkinitcpio -P
again.

I can trigger the issue again by installing linux69 as well
Upgrading Kernels is fine 
Installing Kernels is not 
I have to edit the preset manually.

my /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ is empty and happen same as @pheiduck.
Let me correct my information: I didn’t try to reinstall the other kernels. It happens when I install linux69.
okay used manjaro system settings to install kernel 6.9.0-1 … before rebooting I checked the /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux69.preset file … no kernel version info present … checked boot also no kernel versioning info… for most recently installed kernel 6.9 … in file names …
/usr/share/mkinitcpio/hook.preset file was normal …
I made the appropriate edits to file names in /boot and modified linux69.preset … and kernel 6.9 does boot, after mkinitcpio -P and update-grub…
mkinitcpio is verion 39-6
okay as 39.1-1 is coming – rebooted into linux6.8 and removed linux6.9 install
will test new version as soon as it appears on mirrors… also moved linux69.preset.pacsave out of /etc/mkinitcpio.d/
okay installed mkinitcpio version 39.1-1 reinstalled linux6.9 via manjaro settings manager … same as before … linux69.preset contains no version info will remove again and try mkhw-kernel to install as well
ok did a mkhw-kernel install (cleaned out linux69.preset.pacsave first) same as before no kernel versioning… uninstalled … cleaned out linux69.preset.pacsave … replaced with an edited kernel-versioned edition… of linux69.preset (derived from linux68.preset) …
did the: sudo mkhw-kernel -i linux69 and everything works … so the problem is due to incorrect generation of linux69.preset … I suspect any attempt to install “any new” kernels will fail in the same way!
... mkinitcpio version 39.1-1 does not fix the issue ...
@pheiduck @servimo I just pushed mkinitcpio 39.1-1.
I’m wondering if the issue is now fixed upstream:
lsinitcpio: show out-of-tree modules (from the extramodules directory)
in module list. This was accidentally lost in mkinitcpio v33
– v39.1 · Arch Linux / Mkinitcpio / mkinitcpio · GitLab
Mind you, I can’t reproduce the issue on two machines, so I’m flying blind here.
EDIT: I can now reproduce it on both systems after installing linux69.
Oh… interesting so it was an upstream bug and not by Manjaro. Will check new version of mkinitcpio tomorrow and give feedback.
@Yochanan I think systems with legacy bios mode make something different? Haven’t checked on UEFI mode.

installing mkinitpcio 39.1-2 fixes the issue … thank you !

Will check afternoon!
Yes, now it works good! 
No, since Arch doesn’t even add any versions to initramfses or kernels.
All is fine now with mkinitcpio only the grub menu seams incorrect (on unstable)
You may have some stray leftovers in /boot/, maybe? Normally fallback images do not appear in the main GRUB menu. I recommend removing linux69 and the /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux69.conf.pacsave, then reinstall linux69.

After running the latest update this morning and going to mkinitcpio 39.1, I have correctly named kernels again. Thanks!
