after latest update, gets stuck on boot with the message sbin/init not found. Tried booting into snapshots, but same on all of them. Boots if I choose the 2nd boot option under advanced boot (fallback initramfs).
here's my garuda-inxi :

That means somehow systemd binary is not available. (in /lib/systemd) ( Because sbin/init links to that file )
Did you mess up with it?

Also checked and the executable is still there.
I would strictly advice you not to use pacman -Syu and use garuda-update only in future updates.
I honestly don't even remember entering that or why I would have unless it was just out of habit, but I'll make sure I don't anymore.
Could have possibly been me using auto fill and not paying attention.
Hmm, that’s an interesting clue. Have you tried rebuilding your initramfs? Paste the input and output into the thread:
mkinitcpio -P
Then try booting with the normal image again.

boots up again now. Thanks!

Are you dual booting with your machine? The latest update to Arch Linux apparently broke it due to one kernel change.
Brodie Robertson talked about this a day or so ago on his YouTube channel. There is a solution. See if this fixes it for you:

Hi @iBolski , it's nice you are trying to be helpful, but the video you watched is not related to this issue in any way.
Also the issue was already solved. Maybe you didn't read the thread before posting?

Thank you for the sentiment. And no, unrelated, I'm only booting Linux. I would be curious to know what may have caused the issue to begin with so that I might avoid it in the future.
I do not know for certain, but it is possible something needed was accidentally removed during one of these many recursive package removal commands in your history:
Especially the -c option needs to be used with care; it is very easy to accidentally remove stuff you actually need.
-c, --cascade
Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one or more target packages. This operation is recursive and must be used with care, since it can remove many potentially needed packages.
Like I said, I don’t know for certain that is what happened but it seems likely.
As far as why your snapshots did not work, each time you trigger a Pacman exchange there is a hook that generates a snapshot before and after. At some point your initramfs image was not sufficient to boot your system and needed to be rebuilt, but the bad image kept getting snapshotted by the Pacman hook before the rebuild happened. All of the “good” snapshots were overwritten in the process.
I think all of us in the forum have at one point or another deleted something important by mistake.

Have multiple boot machines have not checked to see if Garuda breaks after update.
PopOS installed Kernel 6.2 & still boots with no problems.
Although can not check Garuda because having this same issue again.
This time it will not update & Update Remote Fix does not fix the issue.
Also Snapper breaks as was happening before as well.
Will reinstall Garuda & see if it works.

This topic is getting a lot of off-topic attention for some reason so I'll just close it down here since it is already solved.
Luckily it was an easy fix.
