Hello everybody.
New member here...
I'm a long time Linux Mint user, and recently I decided to give Arch Linux a try.
Long story short, I installed Arch the old fashioned way, via command line in CLI, with both the linux and linux-lts kernels.
After the latest update from
lts-5.18.83 to
lts-5.18.84, I can no longer login with the LTS Kernel.
For the LTS boot, after the message post, the keyboard is dead, so I cannot even type anything, like to maybe login to the TTY and such...
Regular Linux Kernel,
Kernel Linux 6.0.12-arch1-1 x86_64 logs in just fine, so I can still use the laptop and try to repair whatever is wrong with the LTS kernel.
I am using
rEFInd as my bootloader, on an old Acer ROG G75JX laptop.
Here is my neofetch output:
Code:

Things I have tried so far:
Rollback to the previous LTS version 5.18.83 - still will not boot the LTS kernel
re-update to LTS-5.18.84 did not work either
un-install, reboot and re-install LTS-5.18.84
re-install nvidia-470xx-dkms, and also re-install nvidia-470xx-utils still no joy...
re-install intel-ucode did nothing either.
Here's the boot post snapshot I took with my phone:

I also tried to re-install rEFInd as well as to edit my
/boot/refind_linux.conf
Code:
FROM:
"Boot with minimal options" "ro root=UUID=ae544fdc-edcd-4040-b8e2-feef77c713d1 video1920x1080"
TO:
"Boot ArchLinux" "root=UUID=ae544fdc-edcd-4040-b8e2-feef77c713d1 video1920x1080 rw"
Yet the LTS kernel will not boot. Like I said already, the latest Linux kernel boots OK.
Please help. Thanks.
