uname -r posting wrong kernel (Solved)

Hi im trying to load modules for my drivers and i chose not to install linux-firmware simply cause i don't need the bloat of all those drivers and im working with modprobe and i got an error. When i updated kernel from lts to regular i lost my wifi and my sound. I had a previos post in Laptop issues explaining i was messing with an offline .run installation file, couldn't figure out how to uninstall it and mite of got screwy with my installation. I put to much effort into my linux managing several things ok like gaming and such with commercial wine. This is the problem im facing. I can't modprobe my drivers because uname -a, -r, either or point to the wrong kernel. I do this:

#pacman -Q linux

linux 6.2.2.arch1-1

Then I do uname -r

#uname -r

5.10.87-1-lts

So I try :

#modprobe snd_hda_intel model=Intel_Tiger_Lake-H_HD_Audio_12driver

modprobe: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.87-1-lts

I got my sound debugging input from this

#inxi -A

12Audio:
  12Device-1 Intel Tiger Lake-H HD Audio 12driver snd_hda_intel
  12Device-2 NVIDIA 12driver snd_hda_intel
  12Sound API ALSA 12v k5.10.87-1-lts 12running yes
  12Sound Server-1 PulseAudio 12v 16.1 12running yes

So basically I'm stuff for now.

Mount your boot partition, reinstall the kernel, reboot.

Re: uname -r posting wrong kernel (Solved)

ok well i had a problem but now it's fixed my windows partition gave my uefi /boot partition on /dev/nvme0n1p1 a virus but then i reset my bios and the boot entry in bios magically appeared again and i was able to access my grub and my sound in linux came back so this is partially solved.

Now I am trying to build a driver threw modprobe it is acer_wmi for my wlan and i typed the model when i did "modprobe acer_wmi model=model_name" and it didn't work. So i guess i need help with how to build modules.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

a) open a new thread for that
b) make an effort to post an intelligible question there, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Re: uname -r posting wrong kernel (Solved)

acer_wmi is not for your wifi. You don't know enough about what you are doing that omitting linux-firmware makes any sense. Install linux-firmware it's what contains the firmware for your wifi. You in theory could make a NoExtract directive and not extract any firmware that's not necessary on your hardware, but judging by your responses here the chances you will shoot yourself in the foot are much higher than the few MBs of diskspace you will waste,

ok well solved, how do i mark this thread as solved /var/log/kernel.log something aklong those lines shows what modules are loaded from your system, then you can proceed to delete unneccesary firmware from the linux-firmware package in /lib/firmware folder.

Ftr, acer_wmi might be relevant for rfkill, but reading the OP, there're definitely other issues at play here.
