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I found out that the reason for this is an outdated package in [core].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.
