Yesterday, I renamed the relevant files and then ran the update. After being advised today to undo this, I wanted to do so, but the .backup files I had created were not there. Unfortunately, I did not check this immediately after renaming them, so I cannot say whether they were created at all.
Now I have run garuda-update --garuda- dracut -support dracut . I received the same error message as @cybertheworm
:: Building initramfs for linux-vfio (6.15.9-1-vfio)
:: Building fallback initramfs for linux-vfio (6.15.9-1-vfio)

After restarting, the system seemed to be running normally. However, I wanted to check the dracut function and ran sudo dracut-rebuild. Nothing happened, no message. I then started dracut --regenerate-all with the following result:
