Won't Boot After Update - Can't Change Kernel
by llewellen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5APJ2)
Manjaro/Budgie 20.0.1 on Dell Inspiron 13 7000
After an update yesterday (Nov 20) my system won't boot. It displays the Dell logo and then hangs at a black screen. By pressing Esc > Advanced when booting I am able to see that the following kernels are available:
5.9.8-2-Manjaro x64
5.9.8-2-Manjaro x64-fallback initrams)
5.8.18-1-Manjaro x64
5.8.18-1-Manjaro x64-fallback initrams)
When I select either of the 5.8.18-1 listed I get:
Code:[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot/efi
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems
You are no in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl-xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to boot into default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):The journalctl-xb option does show the system logs. The other options do nothing except circle back to this same return.
It appears that I need to get back to a previous kernel that was working as of shutdown yesterday. How to do that?
