All,

I rebooted my computer today to test some boot flags only to be greeted with an unbootable machine. Here is a transcript of the boot messages:

/init: line 9: systemd-timestamp: not found :: running early hook [udev] /init: line 21: udevd: not found :: running hook [udev] :: Triggering uevents... /init: line 21: udevadm: not found /init: line 21: udevadm: not found /init: line 21: udevadm: not found Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda2... ERROR: device '/dev/sda2' not found. Skipping fsck. ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda2'.

And then I am dropped to a root shell. Attached is my mkinitcpio.conf[1]. This only happens when using an initramfs generated with systemd-git. I built this this image[1] using mkinitcpio 0.12.0.15.g1fb6722. I am also using linux-mainline, but that does not seem to have any effect when downgrading or using a different kernel. If I downgrade systemd to 197, however, rebuild the image and reboot, it goes smoothly. Shutting down my computer cleanly is also an impossibility, as `systemctl poweroff` just hangs with no messages printed. This does not happen with 197.

Also attached are the pacman -Ql outputs of my systemd-git[3] and [core]s systemd[4], as well as the mkinitcpio -v output[5].

The interpreter has moved. It has little to do with the versions of anything but glibc. If you look in /lib64 inside your image, you'll see a broken symlink. This kind of sucks.
