You need to load kernel first, chroot failing from live usb

OK, looks good so far. So let’s try the chroot again.

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 encironment:

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.

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
