uname and pacman show different kernel versions

Hello,

My laptop is showing a black screen with a fixed cursor when I turn it on. I think the problem is the nvidia driver. However, I also noticed that the kernel versions of uname and pacman differ:

uname -r

6.9.3-arch1-1

and

pacman -Q linux

linux 6.9.4.arch1-1

I executed the above commands by using a USB with the ISO and I arch-chrooted in /mnt.
Here is lsblk -f output (I'm excluding some formatting details because I cannot copy and paste it):

lsblk -f

sda/sda1 /boot
sda/sda2 /
sda/sda3 /home

Could you please help me solve the different kernel version issue?

There's no problem, uname will show you the loaded kernel version (currently running). Chrooting doesn't involve loading the kernel from your chroot, you get the kernel from archiso.
As for your original question, you should open a new thread with all the necessary information (are you using Xorg/Wayland, system logs, hardware you are using).

thank you for the suggestion Funny0facer! I did not know about that

I opened another post on the nvidia driver issue here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296793

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.
