Hello folks,
i updated two older i686 installations of Arch on a ThinkPad X31 and T42 (both Pentium M).
Both machines hang at boot. Upgraded to Linux 4.8.3-1 and grub 1:2.02.beta3-4
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
My amd64-machines with the same configuration are not affected.
Some ideas?

Same issue (ThinkPad T42).
It happened when I upgraded kernel to 4.8.2-1 (before grub update), so this is kernel problem.
I've now downgraded kernel to 4.7.6.

Same issue with my old ThinkPad, i688, Pentium M, I posted my lspci on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1662935. It happens with 4.8.2 and 4.8.3, so I'm on 4.7.6 for now.

I had the same issue. I solved it by installing linux-lts

Please stop using scare tactics e.g. calling it "bricked". "Bricked" has a specific connotation which has nothing to do with what happened here.
A better title might be "after kernel+grub update hang at boot".

Sorry for that. Fixed.

Have you tried altering the Kernel_parameters to see if you can produce more output to help diagnose the issue.
Such as remove the quiet parameter if it is set, set and increase the loglevel parameter (the default is 4) , possibly the earlyprintk parameter.

Well, it looks like you already found this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51506 Posting the link here so other people can see it though.

Same problem here on two different laptops, both are Dell+Intel+i686 (Inspiron-1100 and Latitude-D600)

I have a similar issue on an AsRock ION330 since upgrading to kernel 4.8.
I suspect that the problem lies with the Nvidia MCP7A-ION chipset (dating back to 2008).
During the boot process the boot terminal goes blank and my monitor indicates "no signal". The logs indicate that the boot process is completed and the keyboard is working normally (I can open tty5 with Ctrl-Shift F5). For the rest I don't see any relevant error messages in the bootlog.
When using the LTS kernel (4.4) (or downgrading to a 4.7 kernel) everything works fine.

Since I can't make my laptop log anything with the kernel 4.8.2 and up, I tried random parameters (probably stupid ones too:)) with no success: acpi=off, nomodeset, noefi, max_cstate=1, libata.acpioff=1, noapic, pci=nomsi, libata.force=noncq, rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1. If this info helps anyone.

Built kernel 4.8.5 stable from source and the problem appears to be fixed, at least for me.

Upgraded to kernel 4.8.6 today and It boots fine for me. As yetanothergeek said, the bug seems to be fixed. Long live our old machines;)
