Hi,
Most likely after an update by "sudo pacman -Syu" my computer is no longer booting the normal way.
End point for me comes fast and is (no keys work):
Loading Linux Linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: invalid cluster 0.
Press any key to continue ...If I don't boot the "normal" way and boot via:
Advanced options for Arch Linux > Ach Linux, with linux (fallback initrams) my system starts without any rarities.
Advice is welcome. It scares me a little because to me it a bit comes from nowhere (how to prevent?)
And what if the fallback no longer works?
My pacman.log for today:

Hi,
you should read the wiki: mkinitcpio

Opes, sorry people.
Reading the wiki would be much better than reading my own notes too literal in this case.
Great that it works now, but a bit weird that it suddenly did not.
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Thanks Morlock!
