[SOLVED]module i915 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.13-arcj1-1

Hello,

Recently I updated my system and after updating I restarted my computer and before I get to log in it says "failed to load kernel modules" and after I log in and run "startx" I get an error saying module i915 was not found. Also I do not get internet connection with wifi and ethernet. I check the /lib/modules/ directory and all I see is 5.6.7-arch1-1 and 5.5.13 is no where to be seen. I've tried running mkinitcpio -p linux and that returns no errors but does nothing. Thanks to anyone who is taking their time to answer this.

Likely /boot was not mounted for the upgrade. Chroot in and confirm with `pacman -Q linux && uname -r`, and then rerun a full upgrade with /boot mounted.

pacman -Q linux && uname -r returns
linux 5.6.7.arch1-1
5.4.15-arch1-1

and when I ran mkinitcpio -p linux it actually returned an error saying /lib/modules/5.5.13-arch1-1 is not a valid kernel module directory

EDIT: I downgraded to earlier kernel that worked and did the upgrade with mounted /boot, all is good now
