I cannot boot on Linux, nor linux zen, kernels anymore, I think after an update couple of days ago involving Nvidia.
Lightdm never shows up (a blinking cursor stay on top left of the screen), I can only access tty session.
If I select to boot on LTS kernel, it works, I can access the graphical session.
If I then switch to intel graphics and reboot, I can open a graphic session, but it warn about kernel module errors with the message “Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.”.
I’m not sure how I should investigate this problem (which logs or where to look?), any help would be greatly appreciated !
I don’t see any nvidia graphics hardware but it does show Nvidia audio and this in the logs? 390.xx drivers?

Edit: I’m not familiar with this log? Does it show installed packages that are foreign?
Do you switch the graphics card from the BIOS, which allows to select between Intel and NVIDIA? That could explain why inxi -Ga doesn’t show any information about that graphics card.
Thanks for your time and sorry for my late response.
I did switch to intel graphic (from the manjaroptimus-appindicator I installed on my initial setup from the Endeavour wiki), would it be why we don’t see nVidia in the logs ?
So I did re-switch to nVidia, and booted to LTS kernel (the only one working) and took those LOGs
Ah, yes, yes, but that is because I did switch (with this method) I guess.
It is not working with Zen kernel or Linux kernel anymore, Lightdm never shows up (a blinking cursor stay on top left of the screen), I can only access tty session.
If I select to boot on LTS kernel, it works, I can access the graphical session.
And, if I switch to intel graphics, I can open a graphic session, but it warn about kernel module errors with the message “Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.”.
So, yes indeed nvidia-390xx-dkms drivers are installed on the system and both linux-lts-headers (when I boot on this one it is working actually), linux-zen-headers and linux-headers as well.
The set up was working “perfectly” (doesn’t sound right with nvidia ) before. (Before what?..I dunno)
I could drop the use of the nvidia card and only use integrated intel graphics, but I need to know where the the message “Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.” comes from then

Interesting information, sometimes Nvidia driver loads and sometimes not.
It is possible that it is a hardware problem, or the latest updates simply are not fully compatible with your (Nvidia) hardware.
In that case the alternatives are using nouveau or i915, and this means uninstalling the Nvidia driver and possibly blacklisting nouveau if the i915 driver (which probably is the easiest option) is OK for you.
@manuel , i have also a report from my side with theses 390 series and kernel 6.0.(8) on AMD Athlon 2 :
it get fail load kernel module for drivers nvidia 390 series
Eventually the proprietary Nvidia drivers will stop supporting old Nvidia cards. (Nvidia wants to sell more. )
Then nouveau, the open source alternative, may help, although it might not support all features of the Nvidia card.
And often the integrated GPU (Intel, AMD) is available as a fallback too.
(sorry!)
