No boot after update. initramfs fallback works.

I installed some updates in the morning and restarted my computer. Now when I boot, after entering LUKS password, I see this and the keyboard doesn't respond:

So I boot with initramfs fallback and everything works. I look at what I updated with grep -i upgraded /var/log/pacman.log and see:

Code: [Select]
[2023-09-28T10:44:37-0700] [ALPM] upgraded libudev (254.4-1 -> 254.5-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:37-0700] [ALPM] upgraded esysusers (254.4-1 -> 254.5-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:37-0700] [ALPM] upgraded etmpfiles (254.4-1 -> 254.5-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:37-0700] [ALPM] upgraded udev (254.4-1 -> 254.5-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:38-0700] [ALPM] upgraded gperftools (2.12-1 -> 2.13-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:40-0700] [ALPM] upgraded qt6ct (0.8-6.2 -> 0.9-1)
[2023-09-28T10:44:40-0700] [ALPM] upgraded udisks2 (2.10.1-1.1 -> 2.10.1-2)

I rolled back all of those except qt6ct to their previous version and it didn't fix anything.

Advice is appreciated.
 

Re: Boot stopped working after update. Now only initramfs works.

I fixed it by doing the following, one or both of them worked:

in /etc/openswap.conf uncomment line 13 keyfile_device_mount_options=...

then run sudo mkinitcpio -P
