Today, everything works fine and I decide to keep my PC up-to-date, so I run pacman -Syu and I get a message when trying to boot

*** Kernel Panic - not syncing : No init found. ***

I have actually seen that self same message myself here when i had a dying Hard Drive ..

...

That is actually an impossible error message. It is only printed when 1) no initramfs or an invalid initramfs is attached 2) the kernel manages to mount the root partition 3) no init binary is found
