Symptoms:
Booted machine and BIOS presented a message saying that the PCIEX16 slot is now using GEN3 speed. Pressed F1 to enter BIOS and reset PCIEX16 to AUTO. SAVED and BOOTED. SDDM comes up as normal, login. NetworkManager applet shows no network connection. Open NM and it shows no ethernet or WiFi devices. Bluetooth settings in Plasma also show no BT devices. SOUND shows no sound devices.
If I run
ip addronly the loopback device is listed.
In KONSOLE, run ```sudo lspci``` and I see:

...I'm really confused on what's going on, especially since the devices are being detected. I've tried restarting NM:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManagerAnd that does not fix the issue. I've tried restarting, shutdown with power disconnect for several minutes. Nothing is bringing these devices back online. I've looked through ```journalctl -b``` and looked for any errors. There's nothing related at all to networking, or audio, or BT. In BIOS, I've verified that all these devices are enabled. I'm at a loss for what's happening. Any assistance would be appreciated. My kiddo just wants to play games :-D Thanks!

Also, I've tried plugging in a USB3 ethernet adapter. LSUSB detects the device added, but again, it's not detected by NM.

lspci -k
uname -a
pacman -Qs linux
cat /proc/cmdline
lsblk -fFrom the symptoms your installed and booting kernel are out of sync what usually happens because you forgot to mount the boot partition before updating the kernel or are booting a spurious partition into /boot

OK, this is an interesting response. I did notice something odd in the journal...
"No ESP found, not initializing random seed."
There are some errors about issues with mounting /. In my /etc/fstab I have two / mounts. I built this machine earlier this month. I think I just performed the first upgrade a week ago. So it's entirely likely what you're saying is the issue.
It looks like I can't copy a file off the machine as the USB stick isn't found.

uname: 6.18.2-arch2-1
pacman -Qs linux: linux 6.18.5-arch1-1
are both quite dated and not the same.
Usb won't work because you've no vfat module.
Your fstab is wrong, the order matters and BEB4-DE59 is mouonted into /
Speculating that you're actually booting from BEB4-DE59 (lacking the /proc/cmdline output for confirmation)
# /dev/nvme0n1p2

@seth thank you! I'll do that tonight or tomorrow. I really appreciate the fast responses. I'll keep the thread updated.

@seth
I've followed your procedure and it worked! Thank you so much!! Here is a link to my latest journalctl:
I updated fstab to make / mount first, then /boot after. I rebooted into the arch-iso USB stick I still had and mounted the NVMe to the appropriate /mnt folders. After I was in arch-chroot, I ran pacman -S linux. The reinstall worked and I rebooted. I was able to perform an upgrade once I was back into my normal environment. However, I'm still getting this error in the journal:
Jan 25 21:19:08 turtlebropc bootctl[1048]: Mount point '/boot' which backs the random seed file is world accessible, which is a security hole!
Jan 25 21:19:08 turtlebropc bootctl[1048]: Random seed file '/boot/loader/random-seed' is world accessible, which is a security hole!

Jan 25 21:19:08 turtlebropc systemd[1]: Finished Update Boot Loader Random Seed.I've looked up this error when I did the original install and I have no idea how to get rid of it. And below you'll find the output to the commands you originally asked for.
