Arch Linux

Description:

"sudo pacman -Syu" upgrade packages ok. Upgrading kernel mcinitcpio generates empty images. I have this issue after a fresh and new install.

"ls -lah /boot" after the problem with "sudo pacman -Syu":

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4,0K 29 ott 08:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4,0K 29 ott 08:22 ..
