[arch-dev-public] 2.6.35.1-1 from testing does not load sd_mod during boot, breaking boot
FYI, I installed 2.6.35.1-1 from testing on my system (nforce2 motherboard, silicon image sata controller, WD raptor sata disks) this kernel does not load sd_mod during boot, which - in my case - causes the encrypt hook to not find the device it should decrypt, which breaks my boot process. in the early userspace shell i can confirm there is no /dev/sd* or /dev/disk/by-uuid I tried regenerating initcpio from rescue media, but this did not help. I think I will install the earlier kernel again or maybe the LTS, unless someone has a better idea. Dieter

FYI, I booted a live cd, chrooted into my system and did a pacman -U --nodeps /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.34.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz (--nopdeps needed for nvidia driver, which I don't use, but that's another story) now my system works again. [root@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~]# lsmod | grep sd sd_mod 25507 3 scsi_mod 79372 4 sg,sd_mod,sr_mod,libata If I can be of assistance to help resolving this issue, let me know what you want me to do.
