Pretty new Garuda/Arch user. I've been working with it for a bit over a month. I went a few days (~ week) without taking updates.
I went to do so, after installing the updates it hangs up with a blank screen with just a blinking cursor. After letting it sit for 6 hours thinking it would work itself out, I hit 'ctrl-alt-delete' and I see the 'watchdog time out' thing (I never got a picture of what it said specifically). It restarts and then it hangs up saying it's loading the Ram Disk. I've let it sit for a few hours hoping it would work itself out but to no avail.
I've just been restoring to the last good snap shot. Anything I should try? Should I try applying individual patches and updates? Should I wait until there is a larger update which might overwrite what may be hanging up my system? Thank you for any help and let me know if there are other things I need to dig into or read up on that could help.
My Garuda-inxi from the snapshot before I stopped being able to boot.
