[SOLVED] "Login incorrect" after reinstalling kernel/drivers

I'm using regular Arch Linux on AMD. Yesterday, in an attempt to install Nvidia drivers, I accidentally deleted everything in /boot. I seem to have been able to restore everything, but now when I start the computer only see tty1 and every time I enter data, it says “Login incorrect”. I have a btrfs system, and in Arch Linux Live CD to mount partitions I use the following commands:

mount /dev/nvmve1n1p2 /mnt -o subvol=‘@’
mount /dev/nvmve1n1p2 /mnt/home -o subvol=‘@home’
mount /dev/nvmve1n1p1 /mnt/boot

So, in Arch Linux Live CD I have my user in /etc/passwd, I also changed his password via `passwd username` command, but when I try to start up normally, I can't get anything to work.

Also, I moved the SSD with my system from one computer to another (processors still from AMD, video card also from Nvidia, but just RTX5070 instead of RTX3060.

What other data do I need to provide?

I also tried to create a new user in Arch Linux Live CD, set a password for it, then start up again in normal mode and the data from the user did not match, same error. Also before all this I never had this authorization, always had the default gdm graphical authorization.

Anyway, gentlemen, I finally found a solution to my problem. In "arch.conf" file after "rw" I had to add "rootflags=subvol=@" and then "mkinitcpio -P", and everything worked.
