Hello, I updated the packages using the command pacman -Syu
mistake: i didnt check the update logs and cleared my terminal
When booting the system again it says:
error: file /boot/vmlinuz-5.10-x86_64
not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.
What I tried
I tried booting a different kernel it showed file system errors so i tried to fix it using fsck command like usual after that i tried to reboot in the same kernel but there is a error message that says kernel panic not syncing attempted to kill init!
I booted from a live USB and tried running manjaro-chroot -a
Output:
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sda5]

Kindly let me know if any more information is needed as this is ny first time creating a topic
That’s not chroot
failing, that’s chroot
informing you that /bin/bash
could not be executed. Weird, true, but not chroot
itself failing.
But it sounds like a problem with you hard drive. Boot into a live environment and provide the output of:
sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
please.
Thanks for pointing out about chroot
Following is the output:

sudo smartctl --health /dev/sda

OK, looks good so far. So let’s try the chroot
again.
To chroot
Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.
Write/copy/dd
the ISO to a USB thumb drive.
When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.
Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot
encironment:
manjaro-chroot -a
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.
When in the chroot
environment, let me know by replying with the output of the following, run from within the chroot
environment:
mhwd-kernel --listinstalled
and
mhwd-kernel --list
I am live rn from the latest manjaro kde iso
now the chroot output has changed and is very weird:

tried running the command using sudo as well but same output

Still looks like some kind of HDD error to me. Let’s start from the beginning:
Restart, completely restart your PC and boot into a live environment. When done, open a terminal and run:
sudo smartctl --test short /dev/sda
…and provide the output here, please.

Completed without error
Looks good.
Now, please open a terminal again, and try the chroot
instructions as provided earlier, and reply if successful as well, please.
Whatever you do:
Do not run a command/commands in the terminal after completing the steps. Not even if it seems like something failed, as above.
The chroot ouput is same as in the 1/10 (start of the thread)
OK, something might be funky. Let’s test if you are, in fact, in a chroot
environment. Please run the following:
grep ' / ' /proc/mounts
Output:

That doesn’t look like a chroot
environment to me. I’m officially all out of ideas. I’m going to have to call in reinforcements.
@anon89812132 @linux-aarhus @Fabby if you guys know what’s up, or have any idea at least, can you please, please, please tell us? So @faizan1191 can have a working PC, and I can learn something. If I can do that, I’ll mark today as a good day!
Initial guess is a faulty - likely an incomplete ISO - did you validate the downloaded file for completeness?
Yes i have verified the SHA1 checksum of the iso in use
I think I misunderstood something.
To get my understanding right
You synced your system - and after that sync - when rebooted you are greeted with the no kernel message.
Then you go the live iso way to rescue the system - but when when chrooting you get the quoted messages
The first error message is
This grub-probe error means nothing in relation to the automatic chroot
The second error message
This message indicates a file system error - likely a disk error - but could also be caused if the sync process being interupted by a power outage.
I have no clues to what you can do as that depends on the filesystem and how valuable the data may be on the disk.
If it is a filesystem error cause by a start-to-fail disk and If you have data you would like rescued - then any and all attempts from your side a likely to make the matter worse.
Replace the disk and reinstall your system and take the damaged to a professional data salvage shop. If you are a DIY linux user - you may play with testdisk and photorec and try if you can salvage anything from the damaged disk
Do your self a favor - never work the original.- but clone the damaged disk - then work on the copy.
If you have backup of your personal files or dtherwise don’t care - reinstall the system.
The sync process was not interrupted by a power outage as the device was connected to a stable power source throughout the process
Going ahead with reinstalling the system, thanks for the support @Mirdarthos @linux-aarhus
