Hey I have built this dkms in order to fix my usb wifi adapter not working, unfortunately that dkms bricked the initramfs and kernel
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8188gu-dkms-git

I have tried:
Rebuilding initramfs with mkinitcpio
Reinstalling linux-zen and linux-zen-headers
Removing the package
~~Removing the dkms module in chroot~~
Rebuilding grub (not sure if I did correctly, was in a hurry)

I need help asap as I'm working remotely tomorrow

I installed two GRUBs

I know

#

I also did mkconfig but it's not there

I'm formatting the EFI partition and rebuilding everything there, I'll let know if that fixed it

Okay so
