[SOLVED] Failed « load kernel modules »

Hello community, I’m noob with arch, I installed today this distro and all was perfect until I installed plasma and kde-applications, after reboot I got error Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Systemctl :

systemd-modules-load.service            loaded failed failed       Load Kernel Modules 

Systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service:

x systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
Lodes: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
Active: failed (Result: timeout)
Docs: man: systemd-modules-load.service (8)
          man: modules-load.d (5)
Process: 719 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd-modules-load (code=killed, signal=TERM)
Main PID: 719 (code=killed, signal=TERM). 

systemd[1]: starting Load Kernel Modules…
systemd[1]:  systemd-modules-load.service: start operation timed out. Terminating
systemd[1]:  systemd-modules-load.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM
systemd[1]:  systemd-modules-load.service: Failed with result ‘timeout’.
systemd[1]:  Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

Journalctl :

NetworkManager[719]: <warn> [1677183979.9327] dispatcher: (14) failed (after 0.000 sec): Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down.

Can you help me please?

UPDATE :
I uninstalled plasma and kde apps and it didn’t change anything. Than I uninstalled nvidia driver and now all is working, interesting that I have a lot of problems with nvidia driver on windows installation ( on another ssd) and after installing nvidia driver on arch I rebooted pc to see what happens, and it was good, but after plasma et kde apps installation  I got this error. Some ideas what to do?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed « load kernel modules »

post output of

uname -r && pacman -Q linux

both should be the same, if not then you probably have /boot on a seperate partition and it wasnt mounted when updating the kernel.

Thank you for interesting in my problem. You are right, I have different outputs

6.1.13-1-lts
Linux 6.1.12.arch1-1

I made my partitions with LV2, so how to solve this issue?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed « load kernel modules »

if you're using LTS then you would've had to adjust the pacman command to linux-lts gvien that you are currently running the correct LTS kernel. Since you are talking about nvidia you are probably again hitting the old and documented ibt=off issue. Add ibt=off to your kernel parameters and reinstall the nvidia packages.

Yes, for sure, now it matches, thank you.
So now I put bit=off to /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=« ibt=off loglevel=3 quiet »

Then

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

But

cat /proc/cmdline

Doesn’t give ibt in output…. Is it normal?

UPDATE:
after reboot it’s fine

I'm pretty sure that french quotes aren't legal syntax here.

after reboot it’s fine

Does

cat /proc/cmdline

now refelct the disabled IBT?
