I've changed branches to Testing

I did this in the hope that I can provide some feedback in the form of bug reports, as I seem to have absolutely no issues when using stable… and I would like to contribute more.

I have 1 question regarding the pacnew file I received with the branch change.

my current /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file has

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect kms modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont plymouth filesystems fsck resume)

and /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew has

HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap sd-vconsole block filesystems fsck)

Can anyone clarify this?

I might move this to support if this is consequential.

  • The udev hook can be replaced by the systemd hook. For that matter, the base hook can be dropped, because in combination with the systemd hook, all that base offers is a rescue shell in the initramfs, but the systemd daemon disables this by default for security reasons. You can however override this again by adding “SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1” to the kernel’s boot parameters.

  • The microcode hook is needed after the autodetect hook, because it is now loaded via the initramfs as opposed to via grub, as used to be the case.

  • The keymap hook is unneeded if you have the sd-vconsole hook, and you should indeed be using sd-vconsole if you’re using the systemd hook instead of the udev hook. sd-vconsole also supplants the consolefont hook.

  • Whether or not you wish to keep the plymouth hook is up to you. Personally I don’t have plymouth installed.

  • The resume hook is only needed if you hibernate the machine — i.e. suspend-to-disk.

the change from udev to systemd is because of

I’ll replace the existing, in that case… and add resume back in.

I’ll also move this to support.
