Again please try a lot of times.

Regardless of this test the issue needs to be reported upstream or you are stuck on 6.4.

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

It seems that I have to change OS as the lts kernel has been updated to a version that my pc can't boot

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

You can

IgnorePkg   = linux-lts linux-lts-headers

for the moment, the kernel is mostly self contained and it'll typically take a while until that runs you into trouble.
Also https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=linux6.1.71

Can you reliably boot newer kernels if you downclock the CPU?

Already downgraded to 6.1.71 in chroot
It's a notebook with a very basic bios/uefi, can't control cpu clock
