Hi Peter,
I cannot find the error message from the service again, sorry, so I cannot tell You, it had to do with some security parameter not set. It might be in journalctl(1)'s output.
Sorry, cannot find that. :-/
According to the description of kernel downgrading in the wiki, I should have downgraded linux-headers, too, but these are not in my package cache - are they included in the kernel package now? No. It's still a package. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-headers/
$ pacman -Slq | egrep '^linux($|-)' linux linux-api-headers linux-atm linux-docs linux-firmware linux-headers linux-lts linux-lts-docs linux-lts-headers linux-hardened linux-hardened-docs linux-hardened-headers linux-zen linux-zen-docs linux-zen-headers linux-tools-meta $
If your cache no longer has old packages, you can use the online Archive. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages#Arch_Linux_Archive
Thank You, Ralph! I now wonder where the linux-headers are cached, as they're not in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, and I've checked they're installed in version 4.17.8 (so probably may cause problems). Are these headers used for compilation of modules only, or do they add some more value to the running linux system, too? Kind regards Peter
