Arrr! Linux 2.6.18. Goodbye mkinitrd/mkinitramfs

Okay, I was a bit off. The issue is not a system hardlock, but the USB not working. The mouse and keyboard that I have which use USB are rendered useless for some reason. I tried adding the USB hook but still no worky. = Any idea why the USB would not work like this? o.o

I had to do a force install, but after that, changing grub, and mustering enough courage to reboot (I was a little nervous about it ) everything's running without a hitch.
Thanks.

I was wondering about that, too.

No. mkinitcpio is a rather minor arch-specific tool - it just combines a bunch of stuff to make early-userspace nice.

Seems it was just not loading the usbhid module. Loaded that and now stuff works. Now the question is, why did the nforce drivers get booted from the repository? o.o

mkinitcpio running here, all ok .

Good job.

Which part wasn't? The main arch system (after colorful boot text) or early-userspace?

Well I have the mkinitcpio image thingie doing it now, as it was not doing it before. I have never had to make the Arch system load it before though. I dunnoo. O.o

Nvidia stopped supporting them. Here's a thread about that:

Yeah, I noticed that when I checked for drivers on their site. It is a shame, but at least I had a SoundBlaster Live lying around. ^_^

kernel26.img has the "autodetect" hook on by default, which means it tries to autodetect hardware and filesystems on buildtime. The fallback image has all modules instead, but still has autodetection on runtime. The fallback image will result in slightly higher boot time, but otherwise shouldn't be a problem.
You can of course fix your default image to "keep it slim".

It seems like shfs is also broken:

shfsmount: shfs filesystem not supported by the kernel

while using shfsmount.

modprobe shfs gives me following error:

FATAL: Module shfs not found.

because the shfs.ko (that is the module, right?) is located in /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/kernel/fs/shfs/ and not in .../2.6.18-ARCH/...

Updating openssl and openssh don't fixes the problem. Anyone?

shfs package in [community] needs to be updated for the current kernel. If you don't want to wait for the maintainer to update the package, you can build and install the package yourself.

so far got 3
1. sometime reboot, kernel check 1st HD with hde, sometime hda.
2. power can not off when shutdown.
3. group crash, so re-pacman shadow again.
same problem here, 18-4

1. fixed by 18-5.

You better use sshfs, it's based on Fuse - so it's userspace - and it doesn't need to follow kernel changes.

I just rejigged and made it more explicit. You guys should also consider a pre-2.6.18 warning on the home page - if the warning goes on as the pkg gets released then that will be too late for many..regardless of how many warnings they have had.
Why not do set the replaces before 2.6.18 hits [current]? At least people will still be using the same kernel which will prevent confounding in the bug reports!

Yes! Exactly what I had - and probably quite a few more guys.

I made pacman -Su
All text scrolled by, and something about a new feature but since I did it in text mode it disappeared before I could read. Then I rebooted and now I have kernel panic and no idea on how to solve it! The disc is seen but the filesystem is not. (reisers) and the device seems not to work anymore.

edit:
When using kernel26-fallback it works.
