[solved] mkinitcpio hangs on keymap during update of the linux package
When I update the linux package with pacman, it seems to hang the the keymap build hook:

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(usbhid xhci_hcd)
MODULES=()
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=()
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No RAID, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup assembles a mdadm array with an encrypted root file system.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm_udev' for more information on RAID devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block mdadm_udev encrypt filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf block lvm2 filesystems fsck)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr and fsck hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block filesystems resume fsck)
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, zstd compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="zstd"
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()
# MODULES_DECOMPRESS
# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).

Bump as this is still an issue for me if anyone has a solution.

Re: [solved] mkinitcpio hangs on keymap during update of the linux package
Sinces you don't set a KEYMAP in /etc/vconsole.conf, you could simply remove the keymap hook from the mkinitcpio.conf
Alternatively
a) what if you do add /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=usb) "set -x" a the top of /usr/lib/initcpio/install/keymap to hopefully debug where it stalls.

Re: [solved] mkinitcpio hangs on keymap during update of the linux package
Thanks seth. The tip on "set -x" will be helpful to debug it next time. Marking it as solved as I can no longer reproduce the issue after a reboot. Without any changes, installing the linux package now proceeds past the keymap hook. I was initially hesitant to reboot after the update because the boot image re-generation failed, but as I mentioned, I was able to generate the image manually using mkinitcpio.

I ran into this issue again during an update. Adding
KEYMAP=usto /etc/vconsole.conf did not seem to have any effect. This is the out put of the script with
set -xat the top:

Running the mkinitcpio script manually also works fine:

...Seems like it's just an issue with the mkinitcpio script from when pacman updates the linux package somehow?

Hmm how does BUILDROOT get set? I'm not sure what its value is.

Re: [solved] mkinitcpio hangs on keymap during update of the linux package
It's a tempdir, "man mktemp", the path is /tmp/mkinitcpio.<random>/root - therefore check all of them (or reference the script log)

I'll have to wait until the next time I notice it happen again. After the manual image generation and a reboot the issue no longer appears for me. I wonder if it's related to multiple kernel upgrades without a reboot. I didn't think much of it because I have kernel-modules-hook installed.

Re: [solved] mkinitcpio hangs on keymap during update of the linux package
Same issue here, but it doesn't happen every time (I can't reproduce it right now, for example). But when it happens I always see a zombie gzip process as the child to the mkinitcpio process.
