I don't use [testing], but I'm getting this message on every boot. I've tried changing the boot parameter from "ro" to "rw", but the grub-mkconfig always inserts an "ro" no matter what. For now I assume this is safe to ignore? The system functions completely normally.

Yes. The worst that will happen is that your boot will be slightly slower because root gets fsck'ed twice. I believe that an update to grub will fix it so that grub-mkconfig does not override the rw setting. Until then, you either have to edit the template which causes grub-mkconfig to insert ro, edit grub.cfg by hand, or use a different boot loader.

I don't use [testing] too, but with the last update i've this warning. I've grub 2 and I see in /boot/grub/grub.cfg at section 10_linux about arch lines as:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=49e4172a-24c6-4d9a-be98-e53ae1e788db ro quiet splash nomodeset
I don't change 10_linux in /etc/grub.d. I only run a:
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and lines change to:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=49e4172a-24c6-4d9a-be98-e53ae1e788db rw quiet splash nomodeset
Infact I've no more warning at boot.
Try to upgrade your system and then run grub-mkconfig, this patch should do what i said (autochange ro -> rw).

In /etc/default there is a grub.pacsave
I have restored this file grub.pacsave as the original grub (rename grub file)
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Post your /boot/grub/grub.cfg using "code" tag.

You'll only get a .pacsave if you've customised /etc/default/grub. If not, the new version will just be installed automatically and all you need do is regenerate grub.cfg an possibly reinstall grub to disk.

A question: I installed plymouth and so after grub it start earl, so now I would not be able to read the log written on tty1 at boot, where there was the warning message of this topic. I would have been able to read it in some way? For example, in dmesg or elsewhere? And yes, where?
Thanks.

You could, you know... disable plymouth? Doesn't 'nosplash' do that? Maybe just look at your config files?
If you want the ultimate "duh", then log early boot. The mkinitcpio manpage even explains how to do this.

@Jurry,
For a bit of a reality check, there is only one dev active in this thread, and he is consistently responding with the information needed to solve user's problems. Even when that same information has already been delivered a dozen times.
Contrast that with the tens, hundreds, or perhaps even more forum members who could help with said problems, but just frankly don't care anymore. No one can really express true arrogance in a forum post. That is expressed only by figuring something isn't even worthy of a response. Case in point here, I think your post is worthy of a response, as I hope that (if I'm not missing the joke in your post) that the above "reality check" may influence your thinking on the subject.
EDIT: I'm glad it seems I misunderstood the joke. I think the rest of my content though is still worth keeping. In summary: tacos >> falconindy

Lesson #1 in enjoying arch: dealing with any .pacnew and being relieved.
And this said by me being this " " close to doing a post about it not being a news-item,
then realising for myself that i DID have a (syslinux in my case) .pacnew which i missed at first.

It didn't. All of the information you needed was in the first few posts of the thread.

I found the answer in the first post... I'm not sure why you needed to read 63 posts to get the answer here. An explanation of what is going on has been included over and over and over in this thread.
It rather sounds like you were just looking for a set of commands to blindly copy and paste... which is a terrible idea.

I think Arch Linux is not the right distro if you want things to 'just work' w/o a bit of understanding of what's going on and why.

This thread probably wouldn't have caused as much frustration had the op not got side tracked with mkinitcpio hooks that weren't related to the actual problem. I typically always use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to generate my config file so I never ran into this issue.

As you can see. "rw" where needed yet grub itself is showing me an "ro". How can that be? It's like it's reading some other file somewhere. I'm puzzled, i don't have any other ideas where this might be going wrong.
And yes, i did run "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" a gazillion times.
