General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Reinstalling grub did not work . I tried it from chroot . Back to older snapshot :person_shrugging:
Here is the pacman log from when the problem started . Don’t know if any package could have caused this .

Today I updated the system and reinstalled grub after update ( just in case ) and system booted perfectly . I have tried updating before many times without success , so I guess some package that caused the issue got updated to a newer version . Don’t know which one :woman_shrugging:
