After the traditional weekly update, the system stopped booting from the LTS kernel. With the current kernel, the launch is error-free. Reinstalled linux-lts
and linux-lts-headers
- nothing has changed.
What could it be?
P.S. My wife’s computer, with exactly the same configuration and the same software version, starts with the LTS kernel without problems after the update…

I am on a system with the current kernel, there is no need to boot from USB. What exactly should I look for in the log?
Do I understand correctly that I need to reproduce the error and then look at the log?

What exactly do you mean wiht “stopped booting”? What is the error message? How far does the boot process go?
Which LTS kernel version? kernel 6.6.70 received an update to 6.6.71 already.
You say your kernel boots fine with “current kernel”. Then you have a running system and can try to downgrade the lts kernel and see if that helps.
sudo downgrade linux-lts linux-lts-headers
When you have a runnig system with the current kernel, do you have a log from the failed boot with LTS?

The issue has been resolved
Thank you all!
Perhaps you could try to chroot again:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
sudo arch-chroot /mnt
Inside chroot, try reinstalling your kernels:
pacman -Syu linux linux-headers (for example for the latest stable)
This should trigger mkinitcpio automatically.
Check under /boot directory to see if the kernel images and the initramfs are present.
For good measure, reinstall the bootloader and regenerate your grub.cfg:
grub-install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg …
