When I booted the latest SD card image I got all the regular kernel log boot messages, but after running "pacman -Syu" I only get the Raspberry Pi logo with a flashing cursor until the login prompt appears. Also I get no messages when shutting down. Was this an intentional change? Is there any way to get my boot and shutdown messages back?
Also it seemed to use the correct resolution for the monitor (1280x1024) with 4:3 aspect ratio but now it seems to use a different resolution (720p?) with 16:9 aspect ration since the top and bottom half of the screen are not used.
