What do you mean by "systemv related"? Are you still on initscripts?
Mod note: Not a pacman issue, moving to NC.

this is fail in initramfs. try to boot in the fallback mode. also, you need to rebuild it using https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/mkinitcpio

There was something about systemv related in upgrade, but I'm not sure. Please disregard.

Can you give the pointer on how to do that, where to read?

There should be an option in your bootloader menu that says something-fallback. Try to boot that, but most likely you will have to rebuild your initramfs.

I am using rEFInd loader and don't see any "fallback" options.
Here is what I have (editable) in rEFInd Line Editor:
root=UUID=2e996be4-41bf-4ecd-8bca-c0e4c5067971 initrd=boot\initramfs-linux.img
How to modify it to get fallback loaded?

REFInd#For_kernels_automatically_detected_by_rEFInd
Subsequent lines will create entries in a submenu accessible using +, F2, or Insert.
Edit:
If pressing F2 still only shows a single entry press F2 again to edit the entry and alter the initrd parameter that way.

I've got to that point. Now see:

How to edit it?

You can not just edit the entry using the keyboard?

If this still fails chroot in from live/installation media and rerun mkinitcpio

Even running mkinitcpio could fail to make the pc bootable as the vmlinuz-linux could have been damaged, but I don't think this is likely.

Hello!
I've run on my computer today
pacman -Syu
and my system crashed during the installation as well. After a couple of minutes enjoying the black screen, I turned off the machine by pressing and holding the power button. The problem was not persistent and gone booting again. If that wouldn't have solved the issue, I would have boot from an USB stick and chroot (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_root) into my system to execute there:
mkinitcpio -p linux
Maybe this could help you.

Me@Work: your issue is unrelated. Your computer didn't crash, the systemd update triggered a (known) dirty re-exec. Switching back to the TTY X was running on would have "solved" it.

Will try chroot.

I loaded installation media from USB, chrooted, run mkinitcpio -p linux, and that's what I get now:

Few sanity checks
From the live/install media what is the output of
# blkid
From within the chroot
$ pacman -Qkk linux
There should be no mention of /boot/vmlinuz-linux in the output
Also please post the entries from /var/log/pacman.log for your last update.

Don't post screenshots of text, paste the actual text (in code tags).

I can't start browser in chroot. I need to retype huge amount of information into another computer.
How can I alleviate the issue?

Strange blkid seems to show an entry that matches the UUID that can not be found by init.

True.
Can I change the UUID on the stage of rEFInd?
