 mkinitcpio -v -g linux 2>&1 | tee mkinitcpio.log

 artix:[root]:~# cat mkinitcpio.log |grep xfs
     adding module: xfs
	  (/lib/modules/5.9.14-artix1-1/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko.xz)
	      adding file: /usr/sbin/fsck.xfs

Linux artix 5.9.14-artix1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 12 Dec 2020 22:57:38
+0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

THIS is on the rescue disk.  I did a pacman update on the artix
live disk and then artix-chroot /mnt and then su -

artix:[root]:~# ls -al /lib/modules/
total 276
drwxr-xr-x   6 root root     97 Aug 24 19:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 249 root root 192512 Aug 24 23:24 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root   4096 Aug 24 19:06 5.10.60-1-lts
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root     19 May 29 09:21 5.12.5-artix1-1
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root   4096 Aug 24 22:41 5.13.12-artix1-1
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root   4096 Dec 31  2020 5.9.14-artix1-1

so this is all a problem since the latest kernel seems to be 
5.13.12-artix1-1
