I installed kernel26-lts.

Its just after when INIT changes the screen font.
Hmm,
You might try reinstalling. I had an initrd get corrupted a few
days ago and I
booted the LTS kernel to fix it -- so I know the LTS kernel should
boot fine --
and -- I also know that corruption issues can cause the exact problem
you are
describing (and that I experienced a few days ago). When I reinstalled
the arch
kernel - all was fixed. Hopefully the same with fix your issue with LTS.
Regardless, it is a quick confirmation either way :p
I've tried it re-installing thrice. No success. Should I re-download the
package ?
Oh YES - that was implied in the reinstall -- sorry. Give it a go. I don't know
why the checksums don't catch this type of corruption, but I had to re-download
and then install with 'pacman -U<pkgName>'. Hopefully, the 4th time will be a
charm.
I redownloaded it, re mkinitcpio, still the problem persists.
Is there any way to disable the change of screen font after udev ?
Any guesses ? Or re-download from another mirror ?
