[Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

Hello,

I could not upgrade for the last two weeks because of covid travels. Today I tried to upgrade with announcement overwriting hplip on the arch page. After that when booting, I get
"Failed to Load Kernel Modules" and after a while later, screen is locked on

[FAILED] failed to mount /boot
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
[FAILED] Failed to mount /mnt/boot2.
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

I tried "journalctl -xe" but cant see anything about loader.  I have mounted root, /boot and /home and created /etc/fstab. Here is the image of /etc/fstab. https://ibb.co/sKG4FdV . I cannot copy and paste as I cannot use my computer.

I made a research uname -a and pacman Q are at the latest version.linux 5.5.13 arch2-1
Any idea will be great.

thanks

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

Can you boot the failsafe initramfs?

If not, boot some live distro (eg. the installation iso), mount your boot partition and check

file /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-linux
ls -l /mnt/boot/

Also chroot into the installed system and check "pacman -Qikk linux"

You can post the results using the tip from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pastebin

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

/mnt/boor/vmlinuz-linux: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage version 5.5.13-arch2-1...
warning . linux : /usr/lib/modules/5.5.13-arch2-1/modules.alias  has lots warnings Modification time mismatch size mismatch

I cant paste because I cant run into system. This is another netbook I try to write the code. and strangely system tries to mount /mnt/boot2 I dont know where it comes from.

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

boot some live distro

Edit: so the failsafe initramfs doesn't boot either?
fsck the /boot partition.

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

Ok let me tell you, I can boot live distro, I can mount drives, I can generate /etc/fstab, I can arch-chroot into /mnt but after grub system selection window warning starts with systemctl "Failed to start kernel modules" and after a few retries the last screen is same as my question.

I formatted my root and reinstalled arch but error is still there.

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

after grub system selection window warning

The idea is to provide the data from within the live distro boot.

I formatted my root and reinstalled arch but error is still there.

Because it's likely on the /boot partition…

And you've still not commented on attempts and outcome to boot the failsafe initramfs.

Re: [Solved]Failed to start Kernel Modules after update

I think my old grub was ruined, I solved this installing a grub under a different grub-id.
