I had the exact same problem and it was caused by missing modules and drivers in dracut created initramfs that boots the kernel. Try booting to livecd or older kernel and run "lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-your-failing-kernel-version | less" and it should list included modules. Open /etc/dracut.conf and modify to include needed ones, in my case sata driver was missing and crypt module add_drivers+="ahci" add_dracutmodules+="crypt caps" next run sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-your-failing-kernel-version your-failing-kernel-version reboot and hopefully it works. If it still doesn't work you can try mkinitcpio. maanantai 13. heinäkuuta 2015 17.41.50 UTC+3 oliver kirjoitti: > > Further to this, I was able to re-create the problem every time using the > 6/15 MUSL ISO.
