After trying to do an update for linux kernel and errors my system crashed completely, after rebooting when trying to boot into my OS i get the error in the title. Can anyone assist with how to fix this? Nothing I've found online has helped

Do you have a live USB to boot from?

steady spindle
#

not at the moment Im about t o make one

#

had to wipe that USB about a month a go so I can dual boot Windows

Boot into it and mount your root partition to /mnt, then chroot in with arch-chroot /mnt and run mount -a to automatically mount the rest of your partitions

Ok I’ve done that, sorry it took me so long, forgot I had a convoluted set up with BTRFS sub volumes lol

and mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/esp

#

to make changes in your esp

Now you lost me with esp, I don’t remember ever setting that up

Then I might of made a mistake, I mounted my UEFI, to my boot partition

#

I just checked Wiki, I have no idea where you got ESP from, they say use the /boot directory

So what do I do next? I’m guessing mkinit? Or reinstall the kernel?

You can close this thread.

I was correctly mounted like I mentioned earlier and running

sudo pacman -Syu linux linux-headers

fixed my issue
