Hi,
I have been using Garuda for about year now. It's pretty good.
About three months ago, I started to have problems after updating. After the update, the laptop boots till the screen where Garuda, advanced option, windows, snapshots, etc.. can be chosen and after that, it is written:
loading Linux linux-zen
loading initial ramdisk.
from that it's a black screen. Thanks to Snapshot, I can still use my computer.
During the update there are errors and warning. Among others, Nvidia drivers failed to update with an error "could not get modinfo from 'nvidia': Invalid argument". so I tried to removed every Nvidia driver that had a numero other than 470, which is the one for my video card. I removed Optimus and DKMS-driver. It didn't help much. Error related to Nvidia disappeared though but the computer still doesn't boot. So, I guess it was not Nvidia this time... I also tried:
grub-install ...
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
as suggested in Arch page but it didn't help either.
In the update log, there is some zen-kernel Fatal error which does not look too good. But I have no idea how to fix those.
I'm not sure what file I'm supposed to join with the post but at least the "garuda-inxi" and pacman's log. Does anyone has any idea what is going on and how to fix it. Thank you for the help in advance.
