Which information do you need? These packages were updated during my system update to [testing]: device-mapper (2.02.53-1 -> 2.02.56-1) udev (146-2 -> 149-1) initscripts (2009.08-1 -> 2009.11-1) iptables (1.4.5-1 -> 1.4.6-1) klibc (1.5.15-3 -> 1.5.15-4) klibc-extras (2.5-4 -> 2.5-5) klibc-kbd (1.15.20080312-10 -> 1.15.1-2) klibc-module-init-tools (3.8-1 -> 3.8-2) klibc-udev (141-3 -> 141-4) mdadm (2.6.9-1 -> 3.1.1-1) mkinitcpio (0.5.26-1 -> 0.5.26-2) pcmciautils (015-2 -> 016-1) pm-utils (1.2.6.1-2 -> 1.2.6.1-3) xz-utils (4.999.9beta-1 -> 4.999.9beta-2) zlib (1.2.3.3-3 -> 1.2.3.4-3) The packages which are involved into the boot process/the initrd need urgently be moved from [testing] to [core]. I suspect most mkinitcpio but every other package including the device mapper related packages could also be the reason because I've encrypted my whole system with dm-crypt/LUKS. The /boot partition is of course not encrypted. I'm running a simple x86_64, SATA only system with no esoteric hardware.

That's obvious. ;-) Greetings, Heiko
