mkinitcpio -H systemd
says

This will install a basic systemd setup in your initramfs, and is meant to
replace the 'base', 'usr', 'udev' and 'resume' hooks
55

Yes, I said it is not a requriement if using systemd hook … and your output verifies that ?

56

I am answering my own question, I removed glusterfs, as my computer is only a desktop thing, no initial mount of external filesystem.

Yes base is optional.

57

but… “# ‘base’ is required unless you know precisely what you are doing.”

Optional when using the systemd hook as it only provides a busybox recovery shell.
Note: The recovery shell is not usable since the root account in the initramfs is locked. See FS#70408.

I understand you can add base in front of systemd to produce a normal shell is the preferred method?

61

No.

Read the link (or just the quotations here) again.

Fix incoming

I have to ask, was there something strange going on with kernel 66 yesterday?

I updated my system in the morning, did not really work with anything that demanded my gpu but in the evening I wanted to play some games and got an error stating my nvidia drivers were one version behind, I checked the boot logs and yep, there was the same warning.

I ran a new sync and update and yet a kernel update.
Rebooted and it all works fine, but what might have been the cause of this?
(I ALWAYS check I have at least one mirror synced before update)

Seems that something strange going on with kernel 6.6 today too.
A lot of updates 6.6.2-4, 6.6.2-5, 6.6.2-6…
Looking forward to 6.6.2-7 :wink:

Looks like the patch for a ASUS device requires these updates: Commits · master · Packages / Core / linux66 · GitLab
