Boot the Arch installer and fix it from there: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot … rch-chroot

And most likely you can still boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below)

Re: [SOLVED] arch linux latest kernel not opening

i tries doing arch chroot and reinstalling grub but i mounted the efi partition the wrong way which resulted in both my windows and arch linux working, somehow backed up data of both operating systems before cleaning the entire disk and reinstalling both windows 11 and arch dual boot, also installed lts kernel if by any chance the latest kernel stops working again

Re: [SOLVED] arch linux latest kernel not opening

The same thing happens to me. When installing with the linux kernel and grub for uefi with the commands:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub --efi-directory=/boot

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

The screen goes black, it cannot boot. However, when using linux-lts it works perfectly. Also a curious fact is that if I do the installation with systemd-boot and the linux kernel (not lts) it also works well. Strange
