After the latest update that changed how intel ucode is updated, my system won't boot.
I think I missed a line when I edited "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" and ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I can't run grub-mkconfig from another machine, as it uses the live kernel info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to reinstall

Manually edit grub command when booting. Undo whatever mistake you did.
Boot and fix grub.cfg
I dont think you need to boot using ISO file.
System should boot even without NEW intel.ucode just that it wont have up-to-date microcodes.

I've booted a live CD, done arch-chroot and reinstalled
grub2, linux, systemd
I also tried to fix "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" and reran "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
But I still get the error:
system won't boot. INIT: No inittab file found
Enter runlevel:
Any ideas greatly appreciated

Remove whatever changes u made to grub 10_linux and create grub.cfg again using grub-mkconfig
Now simply do this change to grub.cfg
initrd /intel-ucode.img /initramfs-linux.img
i..e put intel microcode before actual initrd

I removed all changes, and still can't boot. the ucode isn't necessary to boot.
I know with the switch to systemd, /etc/inittab is deprecated. So can someone explain what this error means?

I would also like to know how, with systemd, to set up with runlevel 3 so that I can to startx and then to the desktop. But then how to xfce instead of kde? (I think that one of the problems I am having with external devices and other apps is that KDE uses too much memory)

Steve, please do not hijack other threads. The questions you are asking have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the SyXbiT's issue. Start your own thread.

It seems to me that you've an old Arch version. inittab is deprecated AFAIK.
What is the Arch iso version?
do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint

That would probably be mid-2012 at the very latest I think as that's when I remember completely moving over to systemd...
@SyXbiT: Are you using the current Arch install ISO?
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.
