This is the error log I got through gdb.

I do have a backup of this image to which I can revert back. But, I want to know the issue why it happened as this is the second time my perfectly working image crashed on reboot. I want to install wine86 . Now I can enter raspbian, retropiesetup, etc through the terminal. But, can't start the emulation station as it crashes. Also, 1 thing I also noticed is that wine installed through piapps was v5.xx while it was showing that its no longer supported and update to v6.xx during installation.
1 more thing is that the emulationstation crashlog file is empty. Tried deleting and reboot. But result was same empty file.

premade RickDangerous 128GB Retropie image

Unofficial third party images are not supported here.

@Thorr69 Thanks for answering. This image is quite vanilla except a few pre installed emulators and games added. I just updated it, installed raspbian through rpitools and added scripts like pikiss and piapps along with vulkan. Its fully updated to the latest version and working absolutely fine before installing wine86 through pikiss. Can you atleast tell me what this error means? Just want to know the cause.

You'll have to ask the author of the scripts you've run, it looks like the mesa installation is broken by installing the Vulkan stable branch (sic!).

@mitu Ok thanks for the info. The backup that I have is before I installed the vulkan drivers. So, does it mean that If we change the sequence to first installing wine86 and then install the vulkan drivers would that be better? I did vulkan first and wine86 later which resulted in crash.

Or should I not install vulkan at all this time?

No idea, since I'm not familiar with the installer/script you're using.
