Description:
The kernel attempts to run the udev hook, outputs:
line 9: /sbin/udevadm: not found

It continues and says it's unable to mount root device and panics. fallback fails as well.

mkinitcpio 0.6.2-1

I've included the kernel image and mkinitcpio conf file.
   mkinitcpio.conf (2.7 KiB)
   kernel26.img (1.73 MiB)
This task depends upon
 FS#18325 - Failing to boot.

Although this image contains all other files required by the udev hook, it does not contain /sbin/udevd or /sbin/udevadm, thus udev cannot work. This can only be caused if these files are missing on your system. Please check your root partition for /sbin/udevd and /sbin/udevadm, and if they exist, use the "file" and "ldd" tools to see what they are.

Ah, and please, use a proper description for your bug report next time.

On an unrelated but still relevant note, it is a very bad idea to have both ide and pata in your image, remove ide completely.

  • Field changed: Summary ([mkinitcpio] udev missing in initramfs image → [mkinitcpio] line 9: /sbin/udevadm: not found)
  • Field changed: Status (Assigned → Unconfirmed)
something goes wrong when you generated the image. (missing /sbin/udevd and /sbin/udevadm)

What is the output of mkinitcpio -v when parsing "udev" hook?
# mkinitcpio -v
...
:: Parsing hook [udev]
adding file /sbin/udevd
adding file /sbin/udevadm
...

rest of files of "udev" hook looks OK.

Well, your udev installation on your system is broken and thus it's impossible to work either in the initramfs or in the system. You need to fix that error by reinstalling the udev package (or as an alternative, extracting those files from the udev package file manually) and regenerating your initramfs.
