[SOLVED]initrtamfs error - but no error in messages

Hail!
When I updated the system, there were a kernel update, what I watched. It said that the generation process was closed with errors, but my laptop can boot and Archlinux starts. looking into the process there were no error messages, the all is:

==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img 2

I don't know if previous generations sent the same messages or not, take a little care of them thinking that errors will stop the process. I didn't edit any files belongs to mkinitcpio, they are stock version.

Re: [SOLVED]initrtamfs error - but no error in messages

OK, the filesystem package was installed, but my partitions are btrfs. installing the btrfs-progs package solved the problem.
