Kernel upgrade gets stuck at keymap build hook.

Hello since upgrading to linux 6.5.3 and now with 6.5.5 I've experienced the upgrade process hanging at the build hook keymap:

...
(11/22) Updating linux initcpios...
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
==> Using default configuration file: '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img --microcode /boot/intel-ucode.img
==> Starting build: '6.5.5-arch1-1'
  -> Running build hook: [base]
  -> Running build hook: [udev]
  -> Running build hook: [autodetect]
  -> Running build hook: [modconf]
  -> Running build hook: [kms]
  -> Running build hook: [keyboard]
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: 'xhci_pci'
  -> Running build hook: [keymap]

If I try to reboot the system won't start (as somehow expected).

Any idea what's up with this? first time I'm seeing this situation...

I have to reboot with the arch image and the manual install works fine, so it's definitely something going on with my installation that breaks things.

Re: Kernel upgrade gets stuck at keymap build hook.

Update:

The previous error went away on its own, after trying to install and reinstall the kernel manually a few times.
Today it happened again with the latest linux kernel update linux-6.6.2.arch1-1. No idea what is triggering it....

( 7/13) Updating linux initcpios...

^C
Interrupt signal received
error: command terminated by signal 2: Interrupt

tried to re-run it manually with

pacman -U file://...

and same happened. Previous version hangs as well
now I'm worried of restarting the kernel

Re: Kernel upgrade gets stuck at keymap build hook.

What if you run mkinitcpio for the linux preset manually?

# mkinitcpio -p linux

You did not rebuild the AUR package ceph after you upgraded  the boost and fmt packages.  How do you believe that is related to ThePeach's issue?

Re: Kernel upgrade gets stuck at keymap build hook.

I didn't install AUR package,

probably ceph package is now an orphan package.

Problem solved after uninstall of ceph package.

Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Kernel upgrade gets stuck at keymap build hook.

As for the OP and assuming it hangs in the keymap hook:

tail -n 1024 /etc/{vconsole,locale,mkinitcpio}.conf
