Boot showing two installs?

Issues & Assistance
,
1

Hey Everyone,

I am new to garuda first time posting as well, and i cant seem to find anything like this issue in the forums maybe i just dont know what to look up could be the issue haha, i ran into one issue today when i was updating, it looked like a bunch of packages failed, so to correct that i went into the forums and came to the conclusion it was dude to me not keeping my system updated as i was away for a week.

I did the cleanup command and attempted to try the update again, with success it updated and rebooted fine… but here is where the oddity comes in.

On the boot page I now for some reason have the ability to log into two instances of Garuda one being the normal auto login jam, and the other appears to be on /dev/nvme0n1p2

Thanks in advance for any help
