initramfs unpacking failed on boot almost EVERY TIME

My sister has been bugging me about this for weeks...

Rebooting from the live CD and redoing 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does work, but not all the time. This is a really annoying issue and I wish that it would be fixed! Can anyone help me?

Addition: There have been other errors similar to initramfs. There's also one that mentions magic, but we get that once in a while.

MOD EDIT: Please refrain from posting large images

Re: initramfs unpacking failed on boot almost EVERY TIME

That's not much to go on, is it? Do you mean this happens almost every time you boot? Almost every time you boot following a kernel upgrade?

Does mkinitcpio give errors?

What is in mkinitcpio.conf?

Etc.

Re: initramfs unpacking failed on boot almost EVERY TIME

What bootloader are you using?
