[SOLVED] systemd timeout wating on disk devices after update

Hi all,

My laptop is failing to boot after a pacman update (which also updated the kernel).  My ESP and swap partitions fail to mount, my root partition is ok and I mount in emergency mode.  From here I can mount -a my ESP (/boot/efi) and enable networking  CTRL-D puts me into run level 5 (sorry, still new to systemd, I'll learn the terms...) but from the X login my keyboard and mouse don't work.

I have reinstalled the 'linux' package and regenerated boot images.  I use the refind bootloader which has worked in the past.  I'd like advice on how to proceed to boot normally, I am confident my fstab file is accurate as it worked in the past without change (checked it with blkid).  I tried replacing UUID labels with device names for ESP and swap and got the same error. 

I'll try posting the o/p from journalctl -xrb as suggested from the emergency prompt.  Let me know of anything further I should provide. My mkinitcpio.conf and linux.preset files had not changed from default,where they worked ok in the past. I tried (in vain) putting block hooks before autodetect for mkinitcpio but it didn't help.

Thanks,
Dean
