[SOLVED] My system is failing to boot after a system update
After I did a `pacman -Syu` and rebooted my system, Arch no longer boots. I can't copy anything from the screen, so I ended up taking a picture. This is where it gets stuck: https://ibb.co/B6tm68r. I tried chrooting using a live Arch usb stick and doing `pacman -S linux linux-firmware` without luck, nothing changed.

From the chroot, compare `pacman -Q linux` and `uname -r`. /boot was likely not mounted during the upgrade, so mount it and reinstall the kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] My system is failing to boot after a system update
Could you please be more specific about the commands I should use? Like I'm not sure how/where to mount /boot.
And `pacman -Q linux` outputs `linux 5.18.1.arch1-1` and `uname -r` outputs `5.18.1-arch1-1`.

Re: [SOLVED] My system is failing to boot after a system update
If you do have a separate /boot. you mount it the same way you did when you installed Arch. If you don't, I guessed wrong and you have a different problem, in which case some more information would be useful, like the pacman log and journal from the failed boot.

Re: [SOLVED] My system is failing to boot after a system update
Thank you, I don't think I have a separate /boot but I'm not sure though... I have a dual-booted Arch with Win10, if that has anything to do with it. Here's a journalctl I managed to grab: https://gitlab.com/hamk/klog/-/blob/mai … d-boot.log.
Edit: sorry, I just realized it's the journalctl of the ISO... I'll post the PC's one in a minute.

Re: [SOLVED] My system is failing to boot after a system update
Passing "ibt=off" to kernel parameters did the job! Thank you, seth!
