Well... I booted, and reinstalled all 1568 files and all 28 hooks ran successfully: # cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg # pacman -U $(find . -type f -newermt 20190627 -printf " %f) Everything completed successfully, all dkms drivers rebuilt for 5.7.12, all appears to be working fine -- except the network and the boot hangs at the exact same place on tty1, but login is fine on tty2, sddm is started, but there is no graphical display. I wonder if the network is causing the hang with boot on tty1. When I manually try and restart the wireless card, I get: Aug 14 00:38:46 seidr systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/netctl@wlo1_wireless_skyline.service:1: Assignment outside of section. Ignoring. Aug 14 00:41:34 seidr systemd[1]: Starting (Re)store the netctl profile state...

The service file is the same as it has been: # cat /etc/systemd/system/netctl@wlo1_wireless_skyline.service .include /usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service [Unit] Description=A wpa_supplicant configuration file based wireless connection BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlo1.device After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlo1.device I have no clue what this assignment outside of section is telling me. I haven't changed the wireless config at all. Any idea on this or the boot hang issue? What to check? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
