Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia modules not found after upgrading to new kernel

After some research I found my fstab file. Here's its contents:

# Static information about the filesystems.
# See fstab(5) for details.

# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia modules not found after upgrading to new kernel

My system booted after commenting it out! And it seems that the versions are mismatched as uname -a returns a different version then the one I installled. I attempted to run sudo pacman -S linux and got a “Can’t write to /boot” error.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia modules not found after upgrading to new kernel

The /boot parttion is currently not mounted and you cannot mount it because you lack the vfat module.

cat /proc/cmdline
ls -lR /boot

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia modules not found after upgrading to new kernel

I was able to fix it by opening a live installation, chrooting into my system, and specifically running

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot

instead of

mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/boot

(sdb1 is my boot partition). After chrooting running a simple

sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers

which reinstalls the kernel on the correct partition
