How do I fix this? (system doesn't boot)

Yesterday at 13:13:07

I updated my system yesterday, after restarting I got this blue screen (picture attached, edited out uuid and
installation id)
I already tried chrooting into my install and running mkinitcpio, gave me an error

What should I do?

Did you try to boot usning fallback-initramfs?
If that works then try mkinitcpio again.
If not, what file system does the boot partition have?

Yes, I tried booting with fallback-initramfs, it gives me the same error.

The boot partition uses FAT32 as the file system

It seems yoru system cannot find the fat32 driver.
From the console try a pacman -Sy linux.
Then boot from fallback-initramfs.

Your system is missing ICU 0.76.
To be able to use pacman-static, download file pacman-static-7.0.0.r6.gc685ae6-15-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from the omniverse repo, unpack so its contents go into usr and run pacman-static -Syu.
If icu 0.76 does not get installed then try another mirror.

Thanks Artist

I updated the system with pacman-static and it boots up fine again
