Dependency failed for Swap - 5.7.6 kernel

Hello,

I'm getting this error after latest upgrade to 5.7.6-arch1-1 GNU/Linux.

I think it is kernel related because I'm not getting this error when I switch to linux-lts

5.7.6-arch1-1 GNU/Linux

Do you have any idea what may cause this?

Re: Dependency failed for Swap - 5.7.6 kernel

Have you created your swap file with fallocate? If you have, remove and recreate it with dd as described in the wiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sw … e_creation
