[Solved] System works, but "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules"

Hi, my system boots and works, but not always. I noticed something is wrong via VirtualBox, it stopped working few days ago due to missing kernel modules. When I reload modules, VB app worked, but not the images. Like reloading modules did something and system wouldn't shutdown. I uninstalled VB, but the issue remains.

I searched many new and old posts on various places, but nothing helped. Mostly doesn't apply to my problem, or at least I was not able to recognise that. I tried:
- mkinitcpio -p linux
- pacman -S linux
- reinstalled linux-firmware


This is my system info:

Tried changing

linux	/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d3092cad-3bf9-4431-9966-d0c89e6c718b rw  loglevel=3 quiet

to 

linux	/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d3092cad-3bf9-4431-9966-d0c89e6c718b rw  loglevel=3 quiet

in grub prompt, but that didn't succeed.
