I upgraded my Arch Linux using pacman -Syu, and then reboot. The machine failed to boot, thus I switched to tty to troubleshoot. The following is my findings.

  1. systemctl --failed shows that systemd-modules-load.service failed.

  2. sudo journalctl -u systemd-modules-load.service shows that:

Failed to look up module alias `crypto_user`: Function not implemented
Failed to look up modules alias `sg`: Function not implemented
Failed to look up modules alias `vboxdrv`: Function not implemented
Failed to look up modules alias `vboxnetadp`: Function not implemented
Failed to look up modules alias `vboxnetflt`: Function not implemented
  1. uname -r shows that 5.4.8-arch1-1.
  2. Pacman -Q linux shows that linux 5.7.8.arch1-1.
  3. ls /lib/modules shows that 5.7.8.arch1-1.
  4. ls /boot shows that:
initramfs-linux-fallback.img  initramfs-linux.img  intel-code.img  vmlinuz-linux

Can you please help me to resolve (recover) the issue? Thank you!

You kernel version does not match the version of your modules.

  • Boot from a Live USB/CD
  • mount your partition on /mnt
  • mount boot on /mnt/boot
  • arch-chroot /mnt
  • run pacman -Syu linux

This should reinstall the kernel. Make sure boot is mounted correctly after you reboot.
