can anyone send me a initramfs-full.img? [solved]

I'm afraid I messed up my initramfs image pretty badly, so I can't boot into Arch right now. This makes it pretty hard to create a new initramfs.
If anyone would want to send me a initramfs-full.img to <email address removed since it is fixed>, I would be more than grateful.

You can make an initramfs-full.img by issuing the following command as root:

mkinitramfs full --output=$HOME

Other solutions for this problem are welcome too of course

You should be able to use any live-cd, chroot into arch, and create the initramfs image yourself. I've done this in the past.

I finally got it working. The key was copying /dev/null to /mnt/hdc3/dev/null because without it, mkinitramfs wouldn't work
I'm quite happy It's working again

Interesting.. I've only used initrd, not initramfs, and never had to do anything like that. But glad you got it working
