I had the same problem. Mkinitcpio now provides two hooks to allow one to
keep /usr on a separate partition, the fsck and shutdown hooks. By adding
these hook to mkinitcpio.conf it solved my problem. Kudos to those who work
on mkinitcpio.
HOOKS="base udev fsck autodetect pata scsi sata shutdown filesystems
usbinput"
