[SOLVED] Download previous ISO or downgrade current one if possible

Some days ago, i updated my system, rebooted, and it wouldn't boot anymore. I searched the error on the internet for a solution and couldn't find one, so i tried installing Arch again, and the same error occurred. Then, i tried changing my linux kernel to linux-lts and it fixed it, so now i knew that the problem was related to the kernel. I installed arch again and everything is fine since.

the problem is that i forgot about that and updated my USB Arch ISO with the new kernel release. (from the official download page) and now i can't boot from my USB. so i wanna know if there is a way to download the previous ISO, downgrade my current one or whatever

I have Arch installed on hardware, it's fine, i just want my USB working in case something goes wrong. It's possible that i update the kernel again and have no way to fix it this time

Noob here, take it easy on me. Also i'm not sure about the exact release of the kernel that introduced the bug, sorry. it's probably something above 6.0

i have linux-lts 5.1.15-1 on hardware

ISO from download page:
    Release: 2023.03.01
    Kernel: 6.2.1

IIRC, many of the mirrors have 3 ISOs, so you can grab one back to Jan. I'm guessing that 5.1.15 is a typo? As long as 6.1 works for you, the Jan for Feb ISO should work.

Edit: Oh, the Archive goes way back. https://archive.archlinux.org/iso/
