Those files get created by initcpio. So the new mkinitcpio fixes it. Simply reinstall those kernels.

Hi,
This morning, I’ve updated my system with sudo pacman -Syyu, went to prepare myself a coffee and then rebooted without watching the result of the update, my mistake. Upon many reboot, I’m stuck with my motherboard logo. I can access grub and tried to fallback to 5.4 with no luck and the same problem.
After swapping GPU, fiddling with the bios and many reboot, broken update came to my mind.
I booted on a live USB with no problem and checked my pacman.log. Here it is :

I’ve tried mkinitcpio -P but it spurts me the same error.
And now pacman -Syyu tells me there’s nothing to do anymore
I’ve tried reinstalling the kernel with mhwd-kernel -i linux58 but it tells me no target specified while chrooted to my broken installation.
I’m lost, never had any problem while updating Manjaro and I surely appreciate some help sorting this out.

Thanks in advance.
After you have updated the system to latest mkinitcpio 28-1.0 you can fix your system with:
$ sudo mv /boot/vmlinuz-linux54 /boot/vmlinuz-5.4-x86_64
$ sudo mv /boot/vmlinuz-linux58 /boot/vmlinuz-5.8-x86_64
$ sudo mkinitcpio -P && sudo update-grub

Thanks a lot ! I’ll try that right away.
Edit : @philm worked like a charm. Thanks again for the quick fix.
Held off from updating 'til the fixes were in place, and everything seems to be in order post update.
I hadn’t seen the specificity of this update.
And I unfortunately reboot.
At the grub edition, I get this:
Setparams 'Manjaro Linux'
savedefault
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2

Now I don’t know what to do, I don’t have access to the tty anymore, etc.???
reboot with usb iso manjaro
you will do a chroot for repair
After reading announcement, I unchecked kernel-updates.
No errors. -> Reboot. Installed kernel-updates. -> Reboot:
everything o.K.
OK, thanks. Work fine 
no apparent issues here 
(5.8/AMD/KDE)
I still got error on my second monitor with KDE Plasma, Linux 58, on every boot. I have fix with reconfigure on settings-> Display, but still happened after reboot.

I do not plug in/out, just open settings => display, then reconfigure on dual monitor setup, like drag second monitor the right, until show [Apply]. It fix it, until reboot.

no this problem on my Testing Dell Precision 4800 and on USB Unstable, both Plasma

Yepp, it is bootable. Intresting, my other PC have no problem with this update.
this because in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux57.preset file is still present , but no more linux57 , i have suppress preset for version linux no more installed
Just updated on a Dell XPS 13; (5.8/Intel/Gnome). No problems at all! Thanks for fixing this so fast Phil!
you can create a script in ~/.config/autostart-scripts to restart the plasmashell after boot automatically.
All fine on XFCE + BTRFS + linux58 only the mkinitcpio -P failed on the Linux 5.7 Kernel not necessary to fix, because this Kernel has EOL state.
only the extra modules exist for 5.7:
