Kernel out of sync

Support Kernel
1

After my nvidia drivers wouldn’t load on 5.10, I found out that my kernel is out of sync:
pacman -Q linux && uname -r:

linux510 5.10.13-2
5.10.7-3-MANJARO

Manjaro settings also reports .13, but mkinitcpio -p linux510 uses .7

How can I fix this?

Edit: Even after booting into 5.9, removing and re-installing 5.10 through Manjaro settings manager, I get Starting build: 5.10.7-3-MANJARO

Edit2: Turns out mkinitpcio uses the old version because I use a custom path in my linux510.preset. My systemd-boot is installed at /boot/efi/, so to prevent from having to copy over all the files each time I adjusted the preset to install the files to /boot/efi/EFI/Manjaro/5.10/, but when I change that back it does build the 5.10.13, which seems rather strange. This does build the right kernel, but now I have to manually copy over all the files every time, how can I do this automatically?

you can add older kernel and choose on boot Grub ,
can you report

sudo mhwd-kernel -li
inxi -MCz

Thanks for your reply, I’ve already fixed it. The issue was that that my custom initrd path in mkinitcpio didn’t match the kernel image.

Although there is a deeper underlying issue in Manjaro, being that it can only handle /boot as systemd-boot install location.
