Kernel panic after update (5m old system)

Technical Issues
1

I have an old laptop running Mabox and the last image backup is from 02-2023. Now I tried to update this system. There were some warnings and errors related to keyring, but the update process ended and I did reboot. Then I got kernel panic and was not able to boot. So I went back to my backup. But what is the recommended procedure to get this system to most recent state?
Hope for Help!

Thanks, this could help. But now back on an old copy could I avoid this trap by editing the etc\mkinitcpio.conf to set the compression to gzip (remove the #) before running the system update process?
As I see Mabox is updating kernel to 5.4.249, and mkinitcpio to 36-2. So mkinitcpio uses zstd default then.
