[SOLVED] The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.13.5-arch1-1 | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

I discovered this when trying to install something with pacman. My needrestart hook hit me with the message The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.13.5-arch1-1.

Doing some digging, I found:

6.12.17-1-lts
veil@roshar ~ % pacman -Q linux
linux 6.13.5.arch1-1```

So the version of linux installed according to pacman is different than the version I am running. This is weird, and is really tripping me up. I've done a decent amount of digging, but I could have easily missed something. I ran through some of the journalctl logs, and I couldn't really find anything that I could find relevant. Best I could find is my kernel arguments:
`Aug 18 08:50:31 roshar kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=c2f513bf-74ea-4dbb-abc4-1930d360fd98 rw loglevel=3 quiet`

I'm at such a loss. This is my daily use laptop, and has been chugging along fine for about 8 months now. If anyone has any ideas, or what logs/commands I should share the output of to help debug this, that would be fantastic.

I did lol

Issue has persisted a good handful of reboots

Ok so what does your /boot look like?

#

Because you are running a -lts kernel

#

And you checked the version of linux

#

pacman -Q linux-lts should be your current kernel

You just reboot and select another kernel?

alpine drum `pacman -Q linux-lts` should be your current kernel

It is the current kernel. However, this is not the kernel that needrestart expects

I'm going to continue running the lts version, as that's what I've been running for a while now

Arch Linux gives users the choice to install multiple kernels to their systems. E.g. I have currently linux-mainline and linux-next installed. However, if I update linux-next, needrestart warns me ...
