/sbin/init does not exist - mkinitcpio didn't help

I'm dualbooting Artix and Windows 10. I did a system update a month ago and since then I can't boot into Artix. I get this:

Code: [Select]
ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist.

I use suite66.
When I chroot from a live USB and run
Code: [Select]
ls -l /sbin/init
I get:
Code: [Select]
/sbin/init -> /sbin/openrc-init


I tried various suggestions from other threads, but haven't managed to resolve it. The most relevant is this:

TLDR he reinstalled base, but that didn't do the trick for me. I tried reinstalling suite66 too.

Am I using mkinitcpio the wrong way?
