Currently, it fails with:

Failed to chase '/usr/lib/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/setvtrgb.service': Too many levels of symbolic links

My guess is that the symlink is pointing to itself; so the fix is to point to the actual file (just like with ln).

Fixes #4

Edit:
The AUR package creates the same symlink in the main filesystem that, apart from being unused and harmless, it creates confusion with the mkinitcpio hook that works on initramfs.
