I dual-boot windows and arch on my work laptop on a single disk with lvm and a XBOOTLDR partition. I use systemd-boot as a bootloader. It worked fine for like 3 months and then suddenly, after several updates, can't boot as it shows the following message:
:: running hook [keymap]
:: loading keymap ... done.
Waiting 10 seconds for device '<root_device>' ...
[ 7.234501] hid-generic 0003:0E8D:20FF:0001: No inputs registered, leaving
ERROR: device '<root_device>' not found. Skipping fsck.

You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.

Following are the outputs of :

I install the bootloader with this command:
# bootctl install --esp-path=/efi --boot-path=/boot
Can't find what I am doing wrong with this setup. Thanks for your help.
I tried to chroot into the system and reinstall the kernel and systemd-boot or change the arch.conf file to point to the root device with labels or name but none worked
