[SOLVED] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

I'm running a Lenovo ThinkStation P520c and Linux kernel is currently 5.0.7.arch1-1

This morning it booted up fine.
Output from journaltctl -b 0, https://slexy.org/view/s27d1KpqIu
Output from dmesg, https://slexy.org/view/s21HcJON9O

Shortly after the successful boot, I did a pacman -Syu and it upgraded two packages device-mapper (2.02.184-3 -> 2.02.184-4) and lvm2 (2.02.184-3 -> 2.02.184-4)
Here's the portion of the pacman log showing it regenerated the initramfs https://slexy.org/view/s20vMYlaUS

I go to restart and there's a kernel panic as described in post title and the entire output seen in this image https://i.imgur.com/X9cER9D.jpg

What I've tried so far is to use a recovery USB and arch-chroot into my system and:

  • downgrade device-mapper and lvm2 to 2.02.184-3 then reboot with same error

  • upgrade device-mapper and lvm2 back to 2.02.184-4 and then generate the initramfs with mkinitcpio -p linux https://slexy.org/view/s219M9Th51

  • then also run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and reboot with same error

  • ran memtest

  • checked that /, /boot, /home, /data partitions are not anywhere close to nearing capacity

I noticed that Linux 5.0.8 is in staging so I'll test that upgrade when it arrives in core and share the results.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

I had exactly the same this morning after linux, linux-headers and nvidia-dkms updated. Turns out /usr/lib64 was MIA. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1697602 for what worked for me.
