This is for kernel26.img. I successfully manually created kernel26-fallback.img according to kernel.install from kernel26. Not sure if anyone is having this problem.

Hmmm... can you post the output of "mkinitcpio -M" ?

mmccaskill · 2006-10-03 01:40:15

Not sure what that was about but it is working now. Something required a reboot?. Thanks for responding phrakture. In case you're interested:

[root@mmccaskill600m mmccaskill]# mkinitcpio -k 2.6.18-ARCH -g /boot/kernel26.img -M

Same here today for me. Unfortunately I posted a new thread on this without seeing this one.

Deleted the old thread.... let me look into this.

Ok, a few things:
1) Can you make sure it is hanging, and not just taking a really long time? (let it run for like 10 minutes)
2) What does "find /dev -type b" output?
3) Also, the output of "for b in $(find /dev -type b); do echo $b; done" ?

1. Done. After 20 minutes, still the same problem.

2. While 'Parsing hook [autodetect]' is still on the screen and I have not hit ctrl-c yet, I get this for output in step 2:

Interesting... do you have read permission on all these nodes? Can you delete those .tmp nodes?

Also, try upgrading to the newest mkinitcpio and trying that - it may change/fix the issue.

All of those .tmp nodes were created on this morning's boot, according to their time stamps. I couldn't delete them as root. And mkinitcpio is already current. On a hunch I just rebooted to see if those .tmp nodes reappeared. They did not. Now, doing

pacman -S kernel26

to reinstall goes to completion.

Following up ...

Actually, I now see that those .tmp nodes reappeared after reinstalling kernel26 with pacman.

Just to see what would happen, I tried reinstalling kernel26 again, now that I see those .tmp nodes again, and the same problem arise. So those .tmp nodes are the problem. I'll reboot now and fix this with another kernel26 reinstallation.
