Unresponsive input devices after full system update

This problem's been going on for a couple of months now. Essentially what happens is that when I perform a normal system update using

sudo pacman -Syu

and reboot the computer, it will go through the normal booting process (Everything marked as OK), but when the display manager starts, the resolution is significantly lower (probably 800x600 rather than 1366x768). Another symptom is that the neither the keyboard nor the mouse register any input on the screen. (Pressing the 'lock' keys don't trigger the LED on the keyboard, and the mouse doesn't move on the screen).

The only way I've been able to remedy this situation is that everytime I perform a system update, I have to load up the Arch boot CD, and pacstrap the root installing.

I"m not entirely sure which information one would need to diagnose this problem, but I'll include the output from the system update, and the pactrap update;

System update:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

That was the most recent occurrence, but like I said, it's been occurring for months. I figure it's probably some crazy setting I have in my system. I'll post my mkinitcpio.conf just as a preemptive measure.

# vim:set ft=sh
# 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="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
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 block filesystems"
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

Re: Unresponsive input devices after full system update

It doesn't seem to be using your mkinitcpio.conf? The warning claims you are using the usbinput hook but that doesn't appear in the file you posted...

Offhand, it sounds to me like you are having the same issue as this guy.

My apologies, between the time I posted the initial logs and the mkinitcpio.conf, I had replaced the usbinput with keyboard; After updating today, the result is the same.

@David Betson: I would have thought the same thing too, but I'm using a laptop, if that changes anything.

Re: Unresponsive input devices after full system update

Why would that make a difference? Do you use virtualbox?

Re: Unresponsive input devices after full system update

Can we take a peek at your /etc/fstab ?
I think you've the problem I had suspected was going on in that other thread.  I think your boot partition is not mounted on /boot at the time you do the upgrade.  This will cause the new modules to be installed in the libraries.  The new kernel and initrd will be built, and installed to the /boot mount point.  Unfortunately, if the boot partition is not mounted, the files don't replace the old ones and the boot loader uses the stale files the next time you boot.  The old kernel cannot find its modules, because the only ones available belong to the new kernel (you know, the one that was written to what /boot)

If you can use the keyboard after an upgrade, log in and compare the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux.  The versions had better match.

Yes, it seems as if you were right. I must have missed that in the thread you posted. My /etc/fstab does not have the boot partition in it, just the root and home (I'm using lvm for both of them)
