[SOLVED] Downgrade packages went very bad

I have done a downgrade of packages because I got a problem that I couldn't identify, anyway now I'm in a even worst situation.
Probably when I did the downgrade I didn't mount /boot in the right position and now my boot partition has some problem that I can't identify.
First error I get when I load system is:

 Failed to start Load Kernel Modules 

after he goes on but it gives me another error when reach boot, it says:

 Failed to mount boot
Dependency failed for Local File System 

it loads emergency shell.
I did

 systemctl status boot.mount

and it says

 /boot unknow filesystem type 'vfat' 

I loaded system with the archlinux USB because I wanted to run

 mkinitcpio -p linux 

but the problem is that when I try to mount /dev/sda to /mnt/arch/boot I get an error that says partition is loaded as read-only.

Can you help me find the right way to solve this problem?

P.S. I use rEFInd

Which packages have you downgraded ?
Try to mount the root partition with :

sudo mount -o ro,noload /dev/sda*  $PATH 

Then do a full system upgrade

sdax is probably the live USB you are booted from.

Boot into the installer and post the outputs of...

lsblk -f
fdisk -l

You can upload them using...

Thanks, you are right, I mounted the boot partition of USB device
I have solved mounting the right boot partition and reinstalled filesystem linux and mkinitcpio.

Thanks
