Thanks JohannesSilverfox, you are right. today's zstd-1.5.1-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz is buggy and causes your system to fail to boot. Downgrading to the previous zstd-1.5.0-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz fixes the problem.

Thx @JohannesSilverfox that solved my problem, and remember what root password i had set myself so now everything works again

Thanks @JohannesSilverfox! Everything is working once again!

Had the same issue today. This is the first time my raspberry pi media server got broken in 3 years, and the first time I had to connect it to a display to solve the problem. I have to say this is a nasty one! Breaks systemd-journald which then breaks the rest of the system. I hope it is fixed soon.

Hi all,

After the latest batch of updates, which included a kernel update, my headless Pi 2 doesn't boot.

Just curious if anyone else has had this happen after going to 5.10.88-1?

[JohannesSilverfox]

It looks like this is very similar to the Fedora issue I linked:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
% execstack --query /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.5.0
- /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.5.0
# Upgrade the package just to test this
% execstack --query /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.5.1
X /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.5.1
# Downgrade asap!
')

This indicates that the executable stack is not required for 1.5.0 while it is for 1.5.1. I'm not sure why 1.5.1 works just fine on x86_64 (as Arch upgraded this package to the same version and I've rebooted successfully since then) but not arm7.

It's a conditional compilation issue affecting non-x86_64 systems. I've submitted a pull request to the PKGBUILDs repository that fixes it: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1892

You can use the PKGBUILD I've submitted there yourselves in the meantime. It fixes the issue for me. (Build with the makepkg -A flag to make it ignore the lack of stated architecture support.)

New package zstd-1.5.1-2.1 confirmed working (Raspberry Pi 4).

autumnontape's pull request has been merged so a normal `pacman -Syu` now should fix the zstd problem. I can confirm it works on my Raspberry Pi 4B units as well. Thanks to everyone!

[autumnontape]

It doesn't look like the update has made it to all architectures(/mirrors?) yet, so make sure you really have zstd 1.5.1-2.1 or higher (not 1.5.1-2!) or that you've downgraded to 1.5.0 before rebooting.
