Issue installing kernel? [resolved]

Hey all. Noticed I got a couple of odd messages during kernel installation on one of my arch boxes. And I'm looking for some guidance in how to proceed.

The output of pacman -S linux is as follows (I've highlighted the potential problems below)

Re: Issue installing kernel? [resolved]

I tried staring from an end with the warnings, and it seems it was the lack of fsck helpers that caused the problem. Installing btrfs-progs fixed the highlighted issues.
