Doesn't work "how"? Do you get any errors?
In doubt you just forgot to mount the /boot partition.

Hi,
My pc is old so I use the bios(not efi) a single folder and a swap file
When i try to use a mount the boot folder in my sd(x) I get the error: boot cannot be found in /etc/fstab.
When I ls my boot folder the only content I see is grub and when I run pacman -S linux I get the error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)

Do you have a network connection on the install iso?
In doubt, don't chroot

LC_ALL=C pacman --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v backup > /tmp/howbadisit.txt
cat /tmp/howbadisit.txt | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

LC_ALL=C pacman --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -S linux

This is the output from the first command
The linux exited with the error,
install: cannot stat ' /dev/stdin': no such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

What did what?
Do not chroot, your system is completely broken!

pacman --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -S $(pacman --root /mnt  -Qnq)

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

pacman --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -S $(pacman --root /mnt  -Qnq) |& tee /tmp/pacman.log

will copy the entire output into /tmp/pacman.log
Then upload that

cat /tmp/pacman.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

and post the link.
Your installation is "broken" in the sense that a lot of packages seem corrupted, re-installing them should™ "unbreak" at least that part and the -Qkk output would then reflect this.

Edit: because of the keyring, you're using the keyring from the install iso.
If that's old, either get a recent iso or update the keyring of the iso, NOT the installed system.

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring # this wil not survive a reboot

Mod note: splitting from this ancient topic.

Fixed it !!!
So I updated my iso keyring and ran

pacman --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -S $(pacman --root /mnt  -Qnq)

After I had to chroot and run

 pacman -S linux

And it worked.. thank you Seth really appreciate
