kernel panic on /usr/bin/switch_root -d

I use arch linux and after an update about a month ago I can't boot the system anymore.
The logs show a kernel panic caused by calling /usr/bin/switch_root with arg -d.
I've tried a live cd boot and chroot into the system, followed by another update, but no luck. Also tried renaming the initramfs-fallback.img (name probably not correct, I don't recall it perfectly) to initramfs.img. I read somewhere that this could be caused by the ram disk. Google wasn't very helpful on this specific problem, also.
whatever is calling switch_root seems to run after arch prints out the lines
:: Mounting '/dev/sdc4' on real root
:: Running cleanup hook [udev]
What do you guys think?

The release notes for util-linux show no changes to switch_root for the last two releases, and there have been no Arch patches. Paste the full journal from a failed boot.

@jasonwryan I think it's this man: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/…

That would seem unlikely: this would be an issue affecting a lot more people. Please paste the actual journal.

@jasonwryan could you advise on pasting the journal, please? I booted to the live system, did a chroot into the old one, and read the output ofjournalctl, the last entries. It didn't look abnormal. Is that output what you want me to paste? I took a picture of the kernel panic at least.

I solved it by chrooting into the unbootable system and running pacman -Suy with /boot mounted correctly. Linux was updated and mkinitcpio was run automatically. My /boot is in another partition and the first time I did pacman -Suy, I didn't mount it (newbie mistake lol!).
Thanks to the commenters that tried to help! Much appreciated guys, thanks.
