Description:
Downloaded archlinux-2020.03.01-x86_64.iso to install it, however didn't get to root shell due to some bug, but archlinux-2020.02.01-x86_64.iso worked and previous too. Maybe kernel problem, so would like to have more than one kernel to choose from.

No, the repos only have the latest version of each kernel and we're not adding the LTS kernel to the ISO because it would bloat the size quite a bit. If you have unusual kernel bugs on your hardware, you can get the 3 most recent ISOs already by going to any mirror on https://www.archlinux.org/download/, clicking the link to e.g. currently http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/iso/2020.03.01/, and then selecting the ../ entry.

http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/iso/ contains the past 2 months in addition to the current month.

There are also torrents for every ISO ever released at https://www.archlinux.org/releng/releases/ (linked from the main site).
