Dual-boot failed to boot archlinux after updating system to Linux-4.13

I did a system update via

 # pacman -Syu 

However, at the next boot, I got followin error at very beginning:

Error loading \vmlinuz-Linux: Not Found
Failed to execute Arch Linux(\vmlinuz-Linux): Not Found

Then I used a live USB to mount the file system and efi boot partition, arch-chroot to it. Tried

 # pacman -Syyu linux 

with boot partition mounted as r/w, but still with no luck, same error output...

Anyone has any idea?

Somehow I fixed this issue by running the mkinitcpio command followed by bootctl. Is the mkinitcpio mandatory after updating kernel (since I remembered I saw the .img is regenerated after updating kernel)?
