Boot fails with "mount-fstab: fatal: crash!"

This is a service which belongs to boot@system in the boot tree. I have tried regenerating the fstab with fstabgen, and it looks right. Not sure where the problem is here, but cannot boot. I installed a DKMS module vendor-reset-dkms-git which may have caused some issues. I have since tried to remove it, mostly successfully.
I also couldn't find a relevant log file under /var/log or /run/66.

Paste your fstab file and /run/66/log/0/current

You have / and /boot/efi in fstab twice, which is what is causing the issue
I am assuming you did fstabgen -U / >> /etc/fstab instead of a single '>'

I must have done that after trying to fix it. It also crashes with single entries. But it happened sometime after I installed vendor-reset-dkms-git. Here is logs from reinstalling kernel:

Did you try rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/vendor-reset
then mkinitcpio -p linux-zen

Had to remove entire dkms package. Ran basestrap base base-devel linux-zen, downgraded from 5.13.13 to 5.13.12, still occurs :/. Disabled/enabled boot and default tree, is perhaps possible to recreate them? Since the error states mount-fstab.

You can recreate boot tree with:
Code: [Select]
66-enable -t boot -F boot@system

Though I don't expect it to help. It should only fail if there is something wrong with your fstab file.

Managed to fix it by using UUID instead of device path in fstab. Now I got to the desktop on 5.13.12-zen, so I tried upgrading to 5.13.13 and there I only get a shell. The last error is nevertheless present on both kernels:

I ran a fsck while on rescue USB on bootloader and it modified 5 files, after I told it to restore from backup. Funnily enough e2fsck tries to run on bootup now. "Please see the complete boot log at /run/66/log/0/current for further information." this log file is that one.
