[SOLVED] Black screen after kernel boot after pacman -Syu

OpenEye · 2013-01-28 23:15:22

Hi, after full system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I get after the kernel boot black screen and everything is freezing. Then need to manually shut down the power button!

Normally when my system starts up after the kernel boot I get straight to the command line terminal login.

Can anybody help me how to fix this? Any clues? Any advice is welcome!

The problem is solved by downgrading to kernel 3.6.11.-1

Many thanks for the help from the people on #archlinux !

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.

Some infornation about your system, what you updated, what is in your logs etc., would be the minimum required
for anyone to provide meaningful suggestions. Chroot in and retrieve what is necessary and post it here.

I found out that my system does not log any new messages anymore. Also I get multiply strange errors. Also does not remember the static inet settings anymore. Problems started after upgrading to systemd. It's a total mess!

What have you done about the errors being printed to your logs? You could start by fixing the network error and the broken udev rule...
Are you still using intiscripts? They are no longer supported: https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/

I have searched for many hours and days for solutions on the internet and forums, tried some things, but with no results! I don't know how to fix the errors! Do you know how to fix that? I'm a total n00b! I'm doing my best as I can! Need help, thanks!

Read the news item I linked to:

As of January 2013, we will start removing initscripts support (e.g., rc scripts) from individual packages without further notice.

Move your system to systemd; that's what is broken with your setup.
And, if you are going to use a rolling release, you need to a) read the news and b) roll with it.

Running pure systemd now! Downgrading to kernel 3.6.11-1 fixed the black screen! But I still don't know how to fix the broken udev rule? Any suggestions? Thanks!
