When did that happen? After an update? If so I would tend to downgrade,
e.g.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-lts/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/
Did you try anything else?
E.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162704
or any of the other [solved] threads
