What can i do to fix it ? I am not able to log in to mu system but I am able to run run arch-chroot from live USB.
Edit: this in systemctl status boot.mount
mount: /boot: unknown file system 'vfat'
What happened
I used arch-chroot on live usb to install networkmanager and I updated all packages in process. The linux kernel updated as well and installed initframs to /boot but boot partition was not mounted. This created situation where on boot partitions were files associated with different kernel version.
Solution
I solved it by:
- Booting live arch
- chroting into system
- creating another boot dir
mkdir /tmp/boot - mounting boot partition
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /tmp/boot - Moving boot files to right place
mv /boot/* /tmp/boot - exit chroot
- reboot
