[solved] system does not boot with lts kernel

I Installed the lts kernel with the following commands:

pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers nvidia-lts

and then issued the following command:

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

It seems to work, but when I reboot the system and try to boot with the lts kernel I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

What am I doing wrong?

Was /boot mounted when you installed linux-lts ?

In general, post journal logs. In this particular instance something you want to ensure that you actually installed the just updated nvidia-lts 435.21-2 as the previous package has not been kept in sync with the LTS kernel releases and thus lead to version conflicts. Update your system again if that wasn't yet the case.

That was it, thanks.
