You have to reconfigure the kernel, then recompile it, and finally run mkinitcpio. Configuring the kernel is not such an hard task (I used to do it at every update on my previous Slackware box), besides, I think that you can keep everything as it is now in the standard arch configuration except, as someone else said, activating, somewhere in the kernel configuration, fbcon as a module. Then you can run the X server and telling us about the next fatal error:)
Well, I know how to do it on SuSE, but I'll have to hit the wiki for the Arch way. With SuSE it was just: cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig > /dev/null 2>&1 <edit the config as needed> make modules_prepare make clean I'll report back after I figure it out... and hopefully I'll have the next fatal error in hand :p -- David C.
