Arch Not starting

[BlackPingvin]

I have just started using arch linux but some day my system won't start anymore. Can anyone help me with it?

Sorry for my bad English.

what do you mean won't start?

 

Do you get grub?

 

Does it load the kernel?

[BlackPingvin]

Yes it loads grub and some of the kernel is loaded.

did you try the recovery option in grub?

 

did you change anything before this?

 

What line does it stop at?

I have just updated my system(pacman -Syu) and it's different lines it stops at.

I have just restarted my system and it says "failed to start load kernel modules"

Well a update broke the system. I don't know exactly how(and thats a pain to know over a forum).

 

Does a older kernel work?

I haven't updated the kernel.

but you have a list of kernels at boot, select a old one.

Arch is not the easiest distribution to handle =)

 

Unless you can post a picture of the last messages (or better jet - boot from a live CD/USB, dig into the log files and paste the contents here) - or boot and older Kernel, as already proposed (which should work) and do the same things (get into the logs, post the information here, so we can help you fix it), I believe we can not help. You need to give specific information to get any help!

 

That being said, Arch Forums can be more helpful. Not saying that this forum isn't, but there's bound to be more Arch users there.

 

Also, it is a fact that unless you have specifically told pacman to not do it, it will upgrade the Kernel (which can break things, especially proprietary drivers - Arch is not a distro for beginners).

I tried to boot from a USB but I got the same error

[Shura]

the none of the fallback kernels in grub didn't work?

[Wild Penquin]

If you can not boot from an USB stick that used to work, changes are something in your computer hardware broke.

 

What is the exact error message?

[BlackPingvin]

I have tried to use an older kernel but it didn't work. Then I just installed a new system because I didn't want to spend more time on it.
