Hi all
Afraid I don’t have too much info as I can’t get into my system: it won’t boot anymore after todays pacman -Suy.
The update built a new kernel (5.9.8) and upon reboot grub starts, then continues to boot yet does not get past “Loading initial ramdisk ...”
Nothing else happens. Same when booting the fallback kernel.
Asus zenbook, SSD, LVM, DmCrypt.
Any suggestions?

Grub entry that shows up when choosing edit in advanced boot options shows (manually copying here)
setparams ‘Arch Linux, with Linux linux’
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root=‘hd0,msdos1’
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search —no-floppy —fs-uuid —set=root —hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 —hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 —hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 11251d96-cd44-42e3-b6de-3044883b7694
else
search —no-floppy —fs-uuid —set=root 11251d96-cd44-42e3-b6de-3044883b7694

echo ‘Loading Linux linux ...’
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/myvolume/slice rw rootflags=subvol=@ cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:myvolume quiet
echo ‘Loading initial ramdisk ...’
initrd /intel-ucode.img /initramfs-linux.img
So now I’m wondering: is there anything I can add, remove, change herein to get some more output showing what’s going wrogn?
Thanks!

On linux, the one with /vmlinuz-linux, remove at the end quiet and add rd.log=all

Hi
Still can't see what's wrogn, but this way I did get a prompt asking for my decryptionpassword, after which the system boots on. From here I should be able to fix it, which I'll do one I get home again. Should I find out what was causing this I'll report back.
For now: I've a working system again, so I guess the issue is resolved.
Thanks very much for your help!
