Description

@0x9fff00

After updating raspberrypi-bootloader in Arch Linux ARM from 20191012-1 (commit 9f49835) to 20191021-1 (commit ed238d3), my Raspberry Pi 2 no longer boots. It shows the colored splash screen, and then goes to black instead of booting. The red LED is still on, however the green LED is off (doesn't blink).

/boot/cmdline.txt:

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 elevator=noop

/boot/config.txt:

# See /boot/overlays/README for all available options

kernel=zImage
device_tree=dtbs/bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dtb
gpu_mem=64
initramfs initramfs-linux.img followkernel

/dev/mmcblk0p2 is a BTRFS partition.

Model: Raspberry Pi 2
Distribution: Arch Linux ARM
Kernel version: 5.3.7-1-ARCH (linux-armv7 5.3.7-1)
