- **You are unfortunately not the only one to run into this problem. Many people interrupt the update process because they think their machine is hanging, and then they press the reset button.** For other people, there may be other reasons why the update process gets interrupted, but an interrupted update will indeed leave you without a bootable kernel, because the kernel images are only properly installed during the last phase of the update process.
- I was trying to solve the problem from grub command line. But, I couldn't solve it from grub. That's why I had to take a bootable USB. I had installed Manjaro in that USB. You can use Arch-Linux also. I had opened terminal in Manjaro. Then, I executed following command.
- ```
- sudo su - #to be a root user
- manjaro-chroot -a #to find my Manjaro system. And, be a root user in that system
- ```
- >This will autodetect your Manjaro installation. If you have multiple operating systems installed, then you may need to enter a number from a list.
- ```
- pacman-mirrors -f 5 && pacman -Syyu #update Manjaro system
- exit #to exit Manjaro system
- exit #to exit from root user
- reboot now #to reboot your PC. You can run the command without exiting from root user
- ```
Actually, you faced the issue for interrupting while updating system. That's why you lost your kernel. When you will update the Manjaro system than, it will work fine again.
