Re: bootup freezes during load of initramfs

You're probably not going to get any takers on this until you provide a complete log.

man journalctl

Re: bootup freezes during load of initramfs

Hi, I am having a similar problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=247446,
To get the logs you need try:

$ sudo journalctl -b > ~/LOGFILE 

this will write the logs in "LOGFILE" in your home directory

Hope you find a solution...
