Welcome to the forums deltharac.

Remember to follow the news on the Arch home page. In this case, did you read http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/?

Welcome to the forums deltharac.

vmlinuz-linux *is* the correct filename.

Searching for file command : problem with magic file returned https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107942 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113362

Same problem reported here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 83#p973383

Re: [SOLVED]initramfs generation failure upon kernel 3.0 upgrade

well,

The cause of such 'file' command behaviour was zend_server.conf presence in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
Removing this file and running 'ldconfig' to rebuild the links to shared libraries worked for me ... see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-84 … art-0.html - last post explains all.
After following this steps the file command works like charm, needless to say that mkinitcpio now generates initram flawlessly and my arch system is fully functional again .

Thanks for feedbacks.
