[Unstable Update] May 2024 Edition

[cscs]

You got the bad mkinitcpio (seemed to only affect kernel 6.9 for some reason).
Replace with newest 39.1-2 and it will work again.

Ref:

Completely broken system after updating mkinitcpio 39.1

With no pkgrel ? On Unstable (and Testing) it should be 39.1-2 https://packages.manjaro.org/?query=mkinitcpio While previously any install of linux69 would result in this as shown here: But with 39.1-2 I can verify it working properly.
