Hello,

Starting vmlinuz-linux

Using load options ´root=/dev/sda2 ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap systemd.unit=graphical.target initrd=\initramfs-linux.img´

You can downgrade with the ArchLinux Rollback Machine.

Why did you run 'pacman -Scc'? Don't even run 'pacman -Sc' if you're not sure if the new software works i.e. reboot first, clear cache later.

Just a wild guess but if you are using refind as bootloader it could be the issue described in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179048

If so, try installing grub or another bootloader that isn't using the kernel EFISTUB loader. Or find a way to downgrade your kernel...

I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Re: [SOLVED][kernel 3.14] stop booting !

I downgraded yesterday to kernel 3.13.8 and my system boot with no problem.

So two possibilities:

A problem with the kernel 3.14 or a problem with the kernel 3.14 and refind as bootloader.

I keep this configuration until an update.

Thank you for your help.
