initramfs creation failed with this error:
(4/4) Updating linux initcpios...
call to execv failed (Exec format error)
error: command failed to execute correctly
how to solve it?
Please show the full mkinitcpio log.
@naim i can’t start the system any more 
something went terribly wrong with a previous update
Likely your initramfs is corrupt now. chroot and rerun mkinitcpio -P
i am not sure, because i was able to boot in to graphical.target…but wayfire won’t start.
anyway this was my last update:
