i did update my machine with pacman -Syu. after rebooting, i cannot login. i con see this error Failed to start Virtual Console Setup a tiny second right before log in screen. i had to capture it in slow mo to able to read it. i attach the image below.

and on the login, after i enter my username and hit enter it just hangs for a while without asking the password and asks for username again. it acts like when you enter wrong password.

Fix

turns out /bin some how got messed up. thanks to @wwwgem, i looked into system logs (journalctl) and fixed it

    I’m curious about this because I had a bunch of dracut warnings when I updated my EndeavourOS to 6.8.7 the other day. Seeing this doesn’t make me too keen on rebooting until I’ve updated without error messages…

        Oh, in the end I just pulled a $ sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force to generate a working initramfs. But did you find a solution to your problem? Glad you found a fix!
