Hi @ncpa, and welcome!

That kernel is EOL and has been for quite some time.

It is very possible that that is the reason for your woes. I’d recommend you boot into a live environment, and enter a chroot environment from there.

How to chroot

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.

  2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.

  3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.

  4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot environment:

manjaro-chroot -a
  1. If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.

From there you can install a still-supported kernel, say 6.1, an LTS one that should be maintained for a long time to come:

mhwd-kernel --install linux61

If successful, reboot into the installed kernel:

Followed by removing the EOL one:

sudo mhwd-kernel --remove linux60

Also, if you haven’t updated in a while, you no doubt have .pacnew files to handle. You should do this ASAP. See:
