Re: [SOLVED]Failed Load kernel modules

What I am trying to do is prove the running kernel is the same as the installed kernel.   You are running the 4.8.4-1 kernel.  Now if you could run that second command to get the version of the installed kernel

Re: [SOLVED]Failed Load kernel modules

You have a mismatch, which is why you can't load your modules. Which is a result of /boot not being mounted when you updated.

Chroot in and make sure everything is mounted correctly and reinstall linux.

Re: [SOLVED]Failed Load kernel modules

So there is the problem.  The bootloader is starting 4.8.4-1, but you have installed 4.8.6-1.  When the new kernel was installed, the modules for 4.8.4 were removed; now it cannot find its modules.

What probably happened is that the boot partition was not mounted on /boot when you upgraded the kernel.  This means the ne kernel never found its way to the boot partition.

Check to see if the boot partition is mounted on /boot with the mount command.  If it is not mounted:

Mount the boot partition on /boot
Instal the  linux package using pacman -S linux
Fix your /etc/fstab file to auto mount /boot
unmount /boot
Look in /boot for any files -- it should be empty, but will probably have the wayward kernel and initrd that were written there when the boot partition was not mounted.
reboot

Well it's mounted

/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (re,relatime,data=ordered)

That doesn't mean it was when you upgraded...

Don't post images of text, paste the actual text. And if you do post an image, read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

You haven't fixed anything.
