--- Comment #1 from Alex Deucher alexdeucher@gmail.com --- Make sure you have the necessary firmware installed. 4.2 added support for VCE on SI hardware so you need to make sure you have the vce firmware installed and available in your initrd. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree...

--- Comment #2 from beta992@gmail.com --- Thanks! Didn't know a firmware upgrade was needed. Will try and report if it works again.

--- Comment #3 from Alex Deucher alexdeucher@gmail.com --- It's just a new firmware for the VCE (video encode) block. It should eventually boot, you just have to wait for the kernel firmware loader to time out.

I've updated the linux-firmware packages (Arch Linux has it in testing) and indeed it now boots without any issues.
Thanks again for the help!
