Problem booting on Ryzen 1000 series CPU with linux 5.x

There's a problem with booting into kernel 5.x with Ryzen 1700 on a B-350 motherboard. Booting succeeds, but the USB isn't working (which means I have no keyboard and mouse) and all my LVM hard drives fail
to be found (the only one which mounts successfully is the one which doesn't have LVM).

That sounds like you are booting the wrong kernel, what's your output for

pacman -Q linux
uname -a

I can't really verify that, because none of USB devices work, and the network connection fails to inialize too, so I can't even SSH into my pc. X server start up properly though.
But if I downgrade package linux to version 4.X, everything works normally.

Edit: thanks, problem solved. For some reason the boot partition wasn't mounted, which meant the kernel image wasn't updated when I ran pacman -Syu.

For some reason the boot partition wasn't mounted

You should probably investigate that further to avoid it happening again.

For example, have you checked the integrity of the filesystem on that partition? If it's FAT then the standard options remount it read-only in case of errors.
