[Solved] Boot failure: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules

DannMartinnez · 2020-06-02 02:02:15

Hi,

I’m having problems to boot my Arch system, I had just updated linux.

 [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details.

After checking

 uname -a

 pacman -Q linux

I’ve noticed that they are not matching.

Now I was trying to mount /boot, but I’m getting.

 mount: /boot: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

From a the live media, make sure you mount / and /boot and then chroot in and re-run the full upgrade.

Thank you jason now it is solved thanks to you

just one question, it is recommended that /boot be always mounted, all the time?

If you put it in your fstab, you won't have to think about mounting it before kernel upgrades.

Also, don't forget to unmount it and clean up any files installed under it when the upgrade went south.
