[not a bug] Starting version 246.6-1-arch

[Endlich]

Hello,

since yesterday evening my computer doesn’t boot properly. It stops everytime after showing me the systemd status:
Starting version 246.6-1-arch
/dev/sda4: clean …
It happens with lts- and upstream kernel, too.

Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks.

needs more info on used drivers for gpu Desktop Environment Desktop Manager e.t.c. may “simple” caused by not completed update, you can try to arch-chroot and from inside chroot update system, reinstall kernels and headers, regenerate kernel images and grub.cfg.

Rescue non-booting system with Arch-chroot.

make sure to choose the right way to mount partitions dependoíng on if you are using a legacy Bios system or efi running system!
then after arch-chroot /mnt
pacman -Syu
pacman -S linux linux-lts linux-headers linux-lts-headers
mkinitcpio -P
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

@joekamprad Thanks. But there are an error message: specified kernel image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-linux. But i guess it’s because of the fact that this is the live iso kernel?

@jonathon thanks. There is an error occured saying that this is a directory, when i try to update the mirrorlist.

Edit: Now system is working again.
