After an update from 513 to 515 I have been locked out of my computer. My computer froze a few hours after installing the new kernel, and after waiting 20 minutes it was still frozen, so I held the power button to shut it down. I have not removed the 513 kernel, and I have tried to boot to it from grub.
Booting to 515 displays: and then freezes. When the power button is pressed a kernel panic happens
t/dev/sdb2: clean, 191748/61030400 files, 93037898/244112696 blocks
Booting to 513 displays the same error message, the error below, and then goes into emergency mode. I cannot access a text command line outside of emergency mode.

I have tried the fixes listed below:
in chroot:
run pacman -Syyu, no updates were needed
update-grub, no effect
uninstall and reinstall 515 kernel. no effect. I wanted to try doing this on the 513 kernel since it gets me further in the boot process, but I cannot reinstall the kernel since it is EOL, so I have not tried. I have not removed 513 either since I cant get it back.
While reinstalling 515/510 I got the following messages
WARNING: Possible missing firmware for module: bfa
WARNING: Possible missing firmware for module: qla2xxx
WARNING: Possible missing firmware for module: qed

Any recommendations? I’m a newbie, so I’m pretty lost.
