OkSo this happened:
I tried to update my system. Running pacman - Syu went seemingly fine, but on reboot I get stuck with this screen below.
I tried booting the latest working snapshot, but I get an error saying there is no space left on device. I can login with tty, but can't do much with it. What should I delete to create space for the ayatem to be able to boot?
Maybe you could try to chroot from USB, free some space and retry with the snapshot?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't read you can tty...
I can't tty with the latest snapshot. I could tty with older ones and deleted some pacman pkgs, but now those olders snaps don't boot. I get an error saying I need to boot kernel first.
Same with a different kernel, if you have one?
If so, I'd reconsider the chroot
Trying the lts kernel and using nosplash on grub I get this. The kernel is crashing for some reason.
Sorry, we'll need someone more experienced here...
Meanwhile you could try to free up some space as said and maybe again pacman -Syu...
I can't do any terminal stuff cause I can't get to tty.
I'm trying to access chroot, but it says the mount point does not exist. Even though it does exist, I've checked that it does. 
I have to give up.
My only last suggestion would be to use a live USB and garuda-chroot
I always followed these indications
I'm actually trying this right now. The live usb is an amazing tool. 
The chroot tool in the assistant automatically mounted my previous system and chrooted.
I tried to update the system this way, but it wouldn't complete it because of timeshift.

Risky, but maybe you could try to temporarily disable timeshift-autosnap?
I can't find any clear instruction on how to disable it. Do I just uninstall the package?
I was thinking to:
skipAutosnap - if set to true script won't be executedOk cool, that works too. I tried just uninstalling the autosnap package for now and it seems to be running the update just fine now. Fingers crossed.
sudo SKIP_AUTOSNAP= pacman -Syu
Thanks for the help so far. Update went through, I think. I still get the same hang on loading ramdisk.
Any other ideas?
I'm trying to clear space, but it seems to do nothing. Still 0 bytes of free space.
Maybe a btrfs balance could help?
I tried to uninstall one of the kernels I don't use, just for fun. I get an error "unable to lock database" and then the regular no space left on device.
Maybe
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
No such file or dierectory.
