Warning: /lib/modules/3.14.17-1-lts/modules.devname not found

I am trying to use linux-lts but get this error, I'm using rEFInd. I am able to boot the standard arch kernel, but when selecting the other entry in refind I just get the error.

Warning: /lib/modules/3.14.17-1-lts/modules.devname not found - ignoring

The file does exist though.

When exactly do you get this warning?

Right after I hit enter from rEFInd in order to boot. It then drops to a recovery shell.

So you're not even making it out of the intiramfs. You say the file exists, but does it exist there?

linux-lts is currently at version 3.14.43-2, so why are you using something as old as 3.14.17-1-lts ?

Sorry, my mistake, I had searched for similar issues and copy and pasted the error that person had, I have /lib/modules/3.14.43-2-lts/modules.devname though.

The file may not exist in initramfs, what would I had to mkinitcpio.conf ? I have run mkinitcpio -p linux-lts though...

Did you create a standalone EFI setup that you didn't update?

I sorted it, though not exactly as I want it. I had to change the initrd line in /boot/refind_linux.conf to be initramfs-linux-lts.img, I had previously copied the boot line and created a new one with that initrd line, but that didn't work. As I have things now I can only boot the lts kernel, if I want to change to the other I need to manually change that line before rebooting.
