Recently I did an update and which seemed to contained an horrendous amount of bugs. After fixing most of these now i a faced with pacman telling linux 4.16.2-2 is being used. However uname is reporting linux 4.15.17-1.
I have obviously tried rebooting and updating grub but the image is nowhere to be found.
I am out of ideas :( I can fix everything but the kernel
edit: Also mkinitcpio seems to only see the old kernel too.

When rebooting after a kernel upgrade, you can select the kernel to boot into (new or old) in the Bio bootup, its called the grub boot menu. Do you see the two versions there, and if so, which version is default?

Nope. As I said the image is not on /boot so when updating grub it doesn't add the listing!

I think i may have solved it.
For some reason when installing the linux package, pacman reports it is reinstalling linux416-4.16.2-2 at the beginning but the logs show from mkinitcpi 4.15.17-1 is installing. But when specifically selecting linux416-4.16.2-2 it shows it installing for the first time and logs seem correct.
This is very weird they must be an issue with the package. Its even stranger that pacman -Syy still did not select the new kernel either.
Going to reboot now, fingers crossed it works! edit: it works like a charm :)
