I installed kernel26-lts.
It will boot properly upto Udev then screen will flicker and then nothing shows up, but it seems like the boot is going on.
Its just after when INIT changes the screen font.
Hmm,
You might try reinstalling. I had an initrd get corrupted a few days ago and I booted the LTS kernel to fix it -- so I know the LTS kernel should boot fine -- and -- I also know that corruption issues can cause the exact problem you are describing (and that I experienced a few days ago). When I reinstalled the arch kernel - all was fixed. Hopefully the same with fix your issue with LTS. Regardless, it is a quick confirmation either way :p
I've tried it re-installing thrice. No success. Should I re-download the package ?
Oh YES - that was implied in the reinstall -- sorry. Give it a go. I don't know why the checksums don't catch this type of corruption, but I had to re-download and then install with 'pacman -U<pkgName>'. Hopefully, the 4th time will be a charm.
I redownloaded it, re mkinitcpio, still the problem persists. Is there any way to disable the change of screen font after udev ? Any guesses ? Or re-download from another mirror ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com
