unable to boot after manjaro update

[gega]

this is how the garbage image looks like: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...fnozzRxOcy

This is a pretty standard boot screen for these machines. You'll need to give a bit more info before anyone can help.

Thanks, for the input, actually that's helpful! I shared all the info I can in the first post where I collected all symptoms I could recall different than what happened during the first few successful boots.
