[Solved] After kernel upgrade /vmlinuz-linux file not found

I updated my kernel from 5.10.7 to 5.10.8. During this update process my laptop crashed (probably battery related).
After this I couldn't get an internet connection so I rebooted with the arch installation iso and executed the following commands:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
arch-chroot /mnt
pacman -Syu

There pacman asked me to replace a few corrupt packages and I approved.
But when I tried to reboot it told me

file /vmlinuz-linux not found

I tried to reinitialize GRUB (didn't detect Arch) and also tried to roll back to an older kernel (5.10.7).
All of this didn't work, has anybody an idea?

Okay I fixed it by initializing the grub files again (grub-install + grub-mkconfig). Also I have put my config files in the wrong directory. sigh...
