Unable to boot with acs-iommu-group patch (noob)

Hello. I cant boot with the linux-vfio acs-patched kernel. (Arch Linux Wiki)

My system:
I have everything up to date (except for the kernel, more on that later)
arch linux (5.9.1)
refind as bootloader

What I have done:
cloned this aur: Arch Linux AUR
added some signatures for the installation

makepkg -is

refind-install

edited /boot/refind_linux.conf

These commands worked without any noticeable problems. After reboot though, I am stuck at this screen:

Because of hundreds of posts on reddit saying there is something wrong with the new kernel, I tried the same thing with the LTS version of the patch (5.4.72-1), but there was still no difference.

I can only boot with the normal unpatched kernel.

Can anybody tell me what I have forgotten? Most guides online use grub and have completely different commands. I am sure I just forgot some simple command everybody knows already.
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

After searching through the log file of the LTS build I wasn't able to find any problems regarding ext4.
So I thought that the problems might really have something to do with my compiling. I downloaded the lts-precompiled kernel from markzz (linux-vfio package maintainer) but after a reboot I get similar results, that it wasn't able to mount my ssd. Any ideas?
