Linux-firmware update black screen

[grilll]

After following the linux-firmware update instructions currently pinned to the top of the forum, I have a non-working gpu. How do I fix this?

Thanks for the reply!

I was able to login and upgrade using the chroot method.

Should the runlevel3 method have worked in this case? I tried that first but the system kept ending up in the same state as with no additional boot options

Unclear to me.
But with the files being firmware I suppose I could see how it would more fundamentally break things.

Glad it worked out though.
