Hi, I already filed a bug report but thought it couldn't harm or even be good to post it to the mailing list, too. Since the update to kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 from [core] I can't boot this kernel anymore. I always get a kernel panic with these messages: Failed to execute /init Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff813301c2>] ? panic+0x8a/0x14b [<ffffffff8100a28d>] ? init_post+0xad/0x100 [<ffffffff81502747>] ? kernel_init+0x19d/0x1a8 [<ffffffff8101311a>] ? child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff815025aa>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1a8 [<ffffffff81013110>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 I found out that the reason for this is an outdated package in [core]. I don't know yet which package exactly but I guess it's mkinitcpio. After upgrading the system to [testing] and generating a new kernel26.img the system boots again. So, please, either move the packages currently in [testing] to [core] or move kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 back to [testing]. The first would be the best solution I think.
