Kernel upgrade fails (with a kernel panic upon reboot) after installing from the 2017.10 "Goedel" release and/or upgrading linux from 4.12.4-1 to 4.16.6-2
Edit by @totte:
Installing Chakra from the 2017.10 "Goedel" release, and then running pacman -Syu
followed by rebooting will lead to a kernel panic, like so:
[ 0.682627] Failed to execute /init (error -2)
[ 0.682777] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.
