Booting Issue

I am facing problems while booting Garuda. When I use grub for booting and select the Garuda option, it shows two error but when I try to boot by snapshots it successfully gets booted. This happened after the update. Please help. Thanks

Boot and restore the working snapshot, then fully update your system taking note of any output or errors that occur during the process.

Please post text output as text.

Remove the lock file and try again,

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
sudo pacman -Syu

ok sorry
it's my mistake

Fully updated the system...same problem

Please provide more specific information, e.g.what changed, what output you saw, any messages or errors, etc. etc. etc.

"It doesn't work" doesn't help.

The problem is what I mentioned above...I can't boot directly through grub..it's shows the same error output as in the shared img ...I always have to boot through snapshot

Do you have that kernel installed?

Is the file present on the disk?

Have you made any changes to your GRUB menu recently?

Yes

I saw in the kernel settings that it was installed

No

Please verify it is present on the disk,

ls -l /boot

Sorry it's 1.30am here and I am not on my system...Can I verify and tell tomorrow?

How on Earth were you updating your system etc. if you're not on it? :exploding_head:

Just come back to this tomorrow. It's impossible to troubleshoot a PC you don't have access to.

That output from mkinitcpio there says you have two kernels installed: linux-tkg-bmq and linux-lts, but only one of the two has files present under /boot.

This means something is broken. :sweat_smile:

Firstly, try removing then reinstalling linux-lts and see if the kernel files appear under /boot.

Then, run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and check that the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file contains the correct entries for the kernels you have installed.

Two files are present under /boot
