With pyelftools-0.24 this generates unusable ramdisks that render the system unbootable. That bug occurs only when python is python3. Downgrading to -0.23-r1 helps.
CC'ing genkernel project to let them know that initramfs generation with Python 3.4 for example can currently result in problems on ~arch.
confirmed. i against marking this bug report as medium. broken initramfs is critical problem.

Fixed on master. I'll revbump 1.1.6 in a bit. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/pax-utils.git/commit/?id=6557b1512ebfda508345e032e09ed85789c16c98

1.1.6-r1 fixes the problem for me, thanks :)
thanks for the fix!
Guys, it would have been nice to stabilize this version when dev-python/pyelftools version 0.24 got stabilized https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/dev-python/pyelftools?id=ff881e523b525df9b931f59baeef7804d9b47b9f Please block bug 606280.
