Description:
This morning I have performed my weekly arch upgrade by typing payman -Syu into console. The kernel was updated. Some time later I rebooted and since then I cannot boot. I am prompted for the cryptroot password as usual, but if I enter the right password nothing happens at all. If I enter the wrong password, the usual "could not locate key for this passphrase" message appears. It seems the system just hangs, I see no disk activity and waiting for a long time doesn't help as well. I have performed SMART HDD tests and memory tests, both did not indicate any hardware errors. I can access the encrypted root device from an Ubuntu Live cd. When I do lsinitramfs /boot/initramfs-linux.img, it shows me paths like "/usr/lib/modules/4.0.4-2-ARCH/kernel/hmac.ko", from which I came to the conclusion that I have a 4.0.4-2 kernel running. The machine is an IBM Thinkpad W530 with 64 bit. I have tested removing power cable / battery etc. so I am quite confident that the problem is in connection with the pacman -Syu I did earlier this day. Please help me as I am uncertain how I can fix this (or how I can get a "old" kernel initramfs-linux.img file so I can boot again). Additional info: * 4.0.4-2 ARCH * my initramfs-linux.img file has an md5sum starting with 0ab97 and a file size of 7019467 bytes. Steps to reproduce: - pacman -Syu on normal arch install - see how your system gets bricked :-( |

Maybe this is a duplicate of the bug at
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45086
- but I did not directly notice a systemd update so I am unsure if
this is related.
