Next day, the touchpad is no longer working consistently on boot. I’m still on mkinitcpio39, with the added keyboard file and I’ve tried re-running
mkinitcpio
but it’s still not working. Perhaps I got lucky yesterday when it worked 4 times in a row?
Weird, that didn’t happen to me; it’s still rock solid.
Not sure if this is relevant, but there is another issue with mkinitcpio39-1: Failed to start Generate shutdown-ramfs in the latest release (version 39) (#264) · Issues · Arch Linux / Mkinitcpio / mkinitcpio · GitLab, could this have anything to do with it?
I don’t think so, but I have 0 qualifications in the matter (It sounds like it’s a plymouth issue). You should talk with mkinitcpio devs once you get the account sorted
