Have you tried rebuilding the ramdisk? It usually helps in these cases. Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I tried re-running mkinitcpio, not because I thought it might help, but because my /var was originally on an lvm2 volume and now it is back on the same filesystem as / and I thought I’d remove lvm2 from the HOOKS. Unfortunately, it didn’t help. Thanks, Mike
