@Aahna the solution is: sudo pacman -S -y -u update the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist in case there is a mirrorlist.pacnew file created. after 'system update' you need to reboot the laptop and the /lib/modules/ directory will be updated with 5.10.16-arch-1/ post reboot you can issue the 'modprobe' command as follows sudo modprobe -v ext4 insmod /lib/modules/5.10.16-arch1-1/kernel/fs/jbd2/jbd2.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/5.10.16-arch1-1/kernel/fs/mbcache.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/5.10.16-arch1-1/kernel/lib/crc16.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/5.10.16-arch1-1/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko.xz and then verify it as lsmod | grep ext4 ext4 933888 0 crc16 16384 1 ext4 mbcache 16384 1 ext4 jbd2 151552 1 ext4 you are good to go ! warm regards Saifi.
