Hello Garuda users.
I noticed that the recent update made me unable to hibernate and also makes systemd-vconsole-setup fail with the following error logs:
systemd-vconsole-setup:
Dec 10 14:26:10 siddharth systemd[1]: Failed to start Virtual Console Setup.
Dec 10 14:26:10 siddharth (line-ask)[293]: dracut-cmdline-ask.service: Failed to set up standard input: Input/output error
Dec 10 14:26:10 siddharth systemd-vconsole-setup[288]: Failed to lock /dev/console: Input/output error
Dec 10 14:26:10 siddharth kernel:

Dec 10 14:26:10 siddharth systemd[1]: Failed to start Virtual Console Setup.
When I try to hibernate my system just shuts down. I initially thought this might be a kernel issue and tried switching from clear to lts but no dice. Then I started looking at journal logs and saw this,
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth systemd[1]: Starting Hibernate...
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth kernel: PM: Image not found (code -16)
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth systemd-sleep[16704]: Failed to lock home directories: Unknown object '/org/freedesktop/home1'.
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth kernel: PM: hibernation: hibernation entry
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth systemd-sleep[16704]: Performing sleep operation 'hibernate'...
Looking at the error I found this was mostly caused by user created issue where they either forgot to add a kernel parameter or forgot to add the resume module in their initrd. Neither of these is the case for me.
as can be seen from the output of,
lsinitrd

Based on my online searches I have tried adding nomodset and removing the acpi_backlight command line parameters to no avail. At this point I would also like to mention a small strange thing that happened,
the message,
Dec 10 14:42:57 siddharth kernel: PM: Image not found (code -16)
at the start was throwing code -22 as an error whenever I tried to hibernate (I use systemctl hibernate from terminal to hibernate my machine) and looking around I found this corresponds to,
EINVAL 22 Invalid argument
and looking around I found this happens when,
int pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(struct device *dev);
return -EINVAL if 'power.disable_depth' is nonzero; otherwise, if the runtime PM status is RPM_ACTIVE and the runtime PM usage counter is nonzero, increment the counter and return 1; otherwise return 0 without changing the counter
int pm_runtime_get_if_active(struct device *dev, bool ign_usage_count);
return -EINVAL if 'power.disable_depth' is nonzero; otherwise, if the runtime PM status is RPM_ACTIVE, and either ign_usage_count is true or the device's usage_count is non-zero, increment the counter and return 1; otherwise return 0 without changing the counter
from kernel doc
I tried to look for resolutions of these but could not find any great answers to resolve this. While trying through hit and trial I tried,
sudo su
[sudo] password for siddharth:
[root@siddharth siddharth]# echo 259:3 > /sys/power/resume
[root@siddharth siddharth]#
where 259:3 corresponds to the maj:min of swap partition,

└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 16.8G 0 part [SWAP]
however this immediately threw,
[ 1070.918150] PM: Image not found (code -16)
in my kernel dmesg, just this one line and since then the error message while hibernating changed from error -22 to error -16 that is device busy. Even after rolling back a snapshot and re updating the system the error code stays at error -16 (EBUSY 16 Device or resource busy)
Rolling back a snapshot works and resolves all issues which indicates something went wrong with this update.
Any attempts at troubleshooting are appreciated.

Please note that the following error messages in my update logs,
( 7/31) Applying kernel sysctl settings...
Couldn't write '1' to 'kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone', ignoring: No such file or directory
( 8/31) Creating temporary files...
Failed to write file "/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy": Operation not permitted
error: command failed to execute correctly
are normal and expected. I had them quite a few times before while updating as well so they shouldn’t be the cause of concern (hopefully).

Relevant software: snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms

Failed units: systemd-vconsole-setup.service
I had just narrowed down myself to systemd by downgrading stuff in my system and had it added to ignorepkg when your post came in nick of time and saved it. 
The solution works 
hope dracut’s patch arrives quickly.
