You might install an older kernel version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg and then regenerate the initramfs. If not using NVIDIA, it's very easy to have multiple kernels installed (e. g. linux, linux-lts) to have another option if one kernel causes trouble.

I'd generally recommend having the lts or mainline kernel additionally if you use custom kernels, like zen or self compiled
