SOLVED-Kernel(module) problems after restore boot partition

[bassie127]

Running arch linux on RPI3 (boot on SD-card, root on hard disk)

• My system was up-to-date
• I messed up my boot partition
• I had a backup (via fsarchiver) of the boot partition that was 3 months old
• I restored this boot partition via fsarchiver
• Now I had problems with missing kernel modules (for example fuse, needed for encfs)
• $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Q linux') gives: 4.19.23-1
• $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'uname -r') gives: 4.14.56-1-ARCH
• $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'journalctl -b -p0..3') gives "eb 21 14:45:34 RPI3 systemd-modules-load[231]: Failed to lookup module alias 'fuse': Function not implemented
  "
• I tried: $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#pacman -S linux'), but after that I got an kernel panic

Any tips how to solve this?

I have solved the problem myself, by first downgrading the kernel, header files and kernel module from /var/cache/pacman/pkg.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U linux-raspberrypi-4.14.56-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz linux-api-headers-4.14.8-1-any.pkg.tar.xz fuse-common-3.2.4-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz iptables-1.8.0-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Q linux') => 4.14.56
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'uname -r') -> 4.14.56-1-ARCH
So, now installed and loaded kernel are the same
reboot; everything works
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Suy') #updates kernel, header and modules
reboot: everything still OK
