Hi good people,
I proceeded with some updates yesterday and my laptop is unable to boot this morning :o(
When booting, a few lines of script appear and one error is appearing: “[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules”
The last line appearing on the screen ends with:“… fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device”
I’m unable to access the text console with CTRL+ALT+F2
Manjaro plasma kde
using kernel 5.15
nvidia graphics card
I have a usb with a manjaro image which should be useful
could be the result of an interrupted update, since you cant enter into tty boot into manjaro live usb, connect to internet and chroot by running this command: manjaro-chroot -a
(this chroot command doestn work with btrfs and encryption);
then rerun the update: pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && pacman -Syyu
and then provide output from: mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l && mhwd -li
Thank you brahma for the prompt response! I greatly appreciate it (it’s my work machine).
1.- When I proceeded with: “manjaro-chroot -a”
I got the following:
“grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/nvme0n1p2]
→ mount: [/mnt]
→ mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]” > Does that mean it may be a Grub issue?
2.- When I did “pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && pacman -Syyu”:
“:: Starting full system upgrade…
there is nothing to do”
3.- Please find below the output of: “mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l && mhwd -li”

Thanks again for the help! Cheers
if you installed the 6.0 kernel, which is newer, you will boot with it automatically, so its possible that you are affected with the ibt bug, or you are affected with the latest nvidia drivers bug, that causes not to boot with 3000 series cards, which i think is the case here…
so you dont have the 3000 series, so its possible the ibt bug…
are you still chrooted?
if so open new terminal window and from this window open this file: kate /mnt/etc/default/grub
and change this line to look like this: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
then in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter: ibt=off
dont remove any parameters from there, add it to existing one, save the file;
and now go back to the chrooted terminal window and here run this command: update-grub
exit chroot: exit
reboot and see if it helped
also now you will have a grub menu shown during boot, so you can select the 5.15 kernel in the advanced options - dont select the fallback one, select the normal one
uninstall the 6.0 kernel, install it again, reboot, boot with it and see if you can boot. if not switch back to the 5.15 from grub menu, uninstall the 6.0, install the 5.19 - dont install the rt one, install the normal one - if you want to use a newer kernel, reboot, and see if you can boot with the 5.19…
