Hmm,

	You might try reinstalling. I had an initrd get corrupted a few days ago and I
booted the LTS kernel to fix it -- so I know the LTS kernel should boot fine --
and -- I also know that corruption issues can cause the exact problem you are
describing (and that I experienced a few days ago). When I reinstalled the arch
kernel - all was fixed. Hopefully the same with fix your issue with LTS.
Regardless, it is a quick confirmation either way :p
