log attached.

EDIT:
Disregard that log, is actually from an LTS kernel boot I used to restore the system to a working condition. Nothing appears to have been logged on the failed boot.

And how are you building these out of tree modules?
Comment by Chris Meyer (caros) - Saturday, 29 July 2017, 09:09 GMT
I had the same problem on my desktop. It failed trying to mount the root partition.
After removing "elevator=bfq" from the boot parameters it booted again.

If it's trying to find those modules, it's getting out of the initramfs which means it was able to mount the root partition. Different issue.

@Scimmia the details in the initial report and the log in the first comment appear to all be run under linux-lts
the linuz-zen kernel does not seem to reach loading the initrd see screenshot in second comment.

Also having this issue and rolling back to 4.11.8 allows system to boot.

I don't know how to get logs for the failed boot but on my system I only get to the point where it complains about my gpu headers being unexpected.

This is where it would normally ask me to decrypt my disks but that never happens.

@RealBillGates is the output related to gpu headers new or also present under previous versions.
please post the config for your bootloader, mkinitcpio.conf, is the hardware a Lenovo T450?
@all please try changing the initrd paramater to initrd=null does the error change?
With the original initrd paramater remove the quiet parameter if present and add loglevel=7 is mopre output produced?
Does the issue occur on linux 4.12.3?

Issue was "elevator=bfq" removed that, and set up mq-blk as per wiki instructions and we're up and running again.

Global elevator seems to have been depreciated with 4.12.
