The title is the same as for https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269588
My case is different in that $ uname -a gives me the kernel that I just installed: Linux 7.0.13-arch1-1

Here is the string of events that lead to this:

I then get an ERROR message indicating failure to rebuild something against the latest regular kernel because I had it listed in pacman.conf "Ignore" array, so after the installation finishes I comment out that line and re-run # pacman -Syu just to get the regular kernel as well.
I reboot...and as I start Hyprland in a TTY, it launches with only the usual background wallpaper and no sign of anything responding to keyboard input.
I jump to another TTY – the systemd journal does not show anything out of the ordinary with:

I then reboot into the lts kernel, and the same thing happens.
Unsure of what is going on, I go back into the regular one, comment out these variables in my hyprland.conf:

and reboot again, to no avail, so I run the following command to use the snapshot I took just before the first -Syu:

Another reboot, and I end up in the emergency shell.

Does anyone have an idea of when or why my /boot partition could have gotten unmounted?
Was it Timeshift bringing back an older kernel or the first pacman installation command in which linux-lts was installed?... I'm really not sure what is going on, here.
For the record, I updated the system five days ago without any issue...though I didn't try to use Flameshot since then, until today.

Side note: Flameshot would not take any screenshot prior to all of this because:

   $ flameshot full
flameshot: error: Could not locate the `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: info: Screenshot aborted.

just like in here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=313917, so as I'm on Wayland I think of updating my system before trying anything, as $ checkupdates indicates an update for xdg-desktop-portal.
   EDIT: I think I remember that in my case, the message was that `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service failed to start...
