I did some searching on the forum and the solution marked here did not work for me.
What should I do?

can you report

uname -a 
sudo mhwd-kernel -li
sudo mhwd -li
sudo ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset
3

same here for 43xx

uname -a 

Linux rohan 5.7.19-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 28 20:22:12 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The following kernels are installed in your system:

  • linux54
  • linux57

Installed PCI configs:

              NAME               VERSION          FREEDRIVER           TYPE

       video-linux            2018.05.04                true            PCI

/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux54.preset /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux57.preset

sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
sudo mkinitcpio -P ( check that all is correct )

if you have no nvidia

sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300

if you have a nvidia

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

reboot on linux5.10 or 5.4 then remove linux57

sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux57

I did run all the commands. Manjaro wont boot now Iḿ stuck into a black screen. I did login with a live cd, now I get:

reboot with USB iso manjaro
open a terminal and a browser on this topic
and returns

sudo manjaro-chroot -a
uname -a 
mhwd-kernel -li
mhwd -li
exit ( quit chroot )
