I'm guessing that you added i915
to MODULES for mkinitcpio as per the Linux 4.1 section on the wiki page for the Chromebook Pixel 2?
I had some weird issues booting from my USB SSD, but resolved them by changing the order of the modules loaded.
Ha, to think I've studied that page a year ago when I first bought my pixel 1 and 2 (I wasn't encrypting theirs roots at that time), I didn't think to check back - and there it was clear as day! Suppose my google queries could have been improved by actually including +chromebook +pixel which may have gotten me to the right spot as well.
Thanks!
I installed a fresh archlinux using the builtin default kernel 4.5.2 and setup LVM on LUKS and everything works fine when booting that kernel - i.e, I get a passphrase prompt and can boot in afterwards.

However when I tried booting linux-samus 4.4-6 from grub2 I'm stuck on Loading initial ramdisk.
I realize someone else had a related problem on #84 but I didn't get any error when re-running mkinitcpio.
I tried diffing my 4.5.2 kernel .config against that of linux-samus' 4.4.2 but there are obviously many differences and it's hard to pinpoint if I'm missing any particular module or builtin option.
Any ideas how I might be able to troubleshoot?
For further context, my /boot is unencrypted but my root is encrypted. I'm afraid that since I'm not able to get past the kernel loading or initrd stage, journalctl can't help and I wasn't able to get further debugging on my console.
