[SOLVED] Issue with Updating to LTS Kernel 5.4.39 and .40

I ran into this same issue with the regular kernel, which initially prompted me to switch to LTS, which at the time was 5.4.38. The 5.4.38 runs fine, but when I update to 5.4.39 or 5.4.40 and reboot, my system appears to not properly load the kernel. I have no internet connection (neither wifi nor ethernet), and when I try to login on a user account, xorg breaks and spits out an error with my graphics card (module not found for i915). I am still able to login as root and downgrade.

I am new, so I apologize for doing an awful job of presenting this. I am more than happy to link/embed whatever logs you all believe would be helpful. Perhaps the issue isn't actually with the kernel and rather I may not be maintaining my bootloader correctly? I use EFISTUB. Is there something in particular I need to maintain with EFISTUB whenever I update my kernel?

Please boot the installation media.  Setup networking if required.  chroot into the system and post the journal from the last boot.  See the tipx box from pastebin to post the output from the console.
