Description:

Upgrading to the actual kernel leads to a kernel panic. The problem maybe comes from the post installation script. I get the following errors:

Can be fixed by using the full path to depmod in mkinitcpio. Somehow /usr/sbin isn't in your PATH variable, causing this failure (you did a su instead of su -).

user requested task closure: Seems that I did su instead of su - That fixes the problem with the kernel.
