Arch Linux - News: mkinitcpio hook migration and early microcode
mkinitcpio hook migration and early microcode
2024-03-04 - Morten Linderud
With the release of mkinitcpio v38, several hooks previously provided by Arch packages have been moved to the mkinitcpio upstream project. The hooks are: systemd, udev, encrypt, sd-encrypt, lvm2 and mdadm_udev.
To ensure no breakage of users’ setup occurs, temporary conflicts have been introduced into the respective packages to prevent installing packages that are no longer compatible.
The following packages needs to be upgraded together:
- mkinitcpio 38-3
- systemd 255.4-2
- lvm2 2.03.23-3
- mdadm 4.3-2
- cryptsetup 2.7.0-3
mkinitcpio 38-2 and systemd 255.4-2 have not been released on testing branch yet
Users may need to avoid updating lvm2, mdam and crytsetup until all packages are available
