Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.

So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.

What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.

Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.

I got this error.

1001090084

I would really appreciate URGENT help

If you need any more details I can provide.

Give us your fstab and lsblk.

Or, the specific piece of information I want is where the kernels are located. When /boot is part of the root subvolume (not the default setup, sadly), then the kernels will be snapshpotted along with the rest of the filesystem. /boot/efi would be where the efi system partition is, and where the bootloader is installed.

If /boot is instead the efi parition (default setup lmao), then this means that when you restored a snapshot of your root subvolume, your kernels were not downgraded. I suspect that older kernels attempting to read/view newer kernel modules would cause this boot failure.
