eciate any help/pointers to what would be wise to test next. If this is likely to be an issue with the Linux kernel and not arch-related (unsure, since I could not reproduce it on other distros), please tell me so and I will post to the kernel bug tracker instead. Thanks! Merlin Büge [0]: https://

onally, I'd rather modify the start-up process a tiny bit so that GPT inside LUKS gets parsed.

figure out how. You could also boot with the current live image and launch memtest from there. When using memtest, best practice is to test each RAM chip alone (i.e. remove the other ones) and let memtest run several (4-8) passes for each chip. Regards, mearon -- Merlin Büge
