[SOLVED] mkinitcpio errors after update

I have run an update with the usual:

pacman -Syu

which errors during the mkinitcpio steps for both kernel and kernel-lts:

...
(3/4) Updating linux initcpios...
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lts.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img
==> Starting build: 5.15.73-1-lts
  -> Running build hook: [base]
  -> Running build hook: [udev]
  -> Running build hook: [autodetect]
  -> Running build hook: [modconf]
  -> Running build hook: [block]
==> ERROR: module not found: `nvmet'
==> ERROR: module not found: `nvme_loop'
...

Not sure what went wrong.
I am a bit in panic, I assume rebooting is bad idea.

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio errors after update

Looking at the /var/log/pacman.log hints at evdi, but after uninstalling evdi and trying to reinstall kernel/kernel-lts there is no improvement.

Re: [SOLVED] mkinitcpio errors after update

fixed, the solution was:
1. remove offending evdi package
2. reinstall dkms
3. reinstall kernel and kernel-lts
