This is irritating. I get it to boot fine from a fresh install of the latest. Run it fine for a while, reboot it fine. Then I stupidly run pacman -Syu and that's where the problem starts.
Ok, base system, installed apache, php, mariadbclient, vim and ntp.
Reboots fine.
Run the update.
Fail to boot.
Check logs. Find nothing after a successful shutdown - no boot messages. I have no terminal, so I feel screwed.
Save off logs.
Reformat. New image of whatever is the latest tarball. Boots fine.
So, I just need to know what ways I can find information to figure out how to fix this. Journalctl isn't helping. No terminal is definitely a problem. I'm tired of this after a year and a half - it's pretty stable, so few required reboots.
Any thoughts? I'm feeling pretty clueless here.
