Shebang in consolefont file has a typo, it references
/usr/bin/ash (which is non-exiting).
Should point to /usr/bin/bash instead. $ pacman -Qi mkinitcpio | grep Version Version : 23-1 $ cat /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/consolefont #!/usr/bin/ash run_hook() { if [ -e /consolefont.psfu ]; then msg -n ":: Loading console font..." setfont -C /dev/console /consolefont.psfu msg "done." elif [ -e /consolefont.psf ]; then msg -n ":: Loading console font..." setfont -C /dev/console /consolefont.psf msg "done." else msg "No consolefont found despite added hook." fi } # vim: set ft=sh ts=4 sw=4 et: |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: ash is a real shell, and exists where/when the hooks are run.

/usr/bin/ash exists in the initramfs, where this runs. Regardless,
the script is sourced and not executed. There's no problem here --
the shebang is a cue to me (or anyone else work on mkinitcpio) for
what syntax is legal.
