I ran pacmatic -Syu last night, which updated the kernel to the version in the subject. This afternoon, the system started to boot normally but the display went blank before the login prompt appeared (I boot to a text login) so I was unable to use the system. I used my original installation disc to boot, and was able to follow the Wiki instructions (accessed using a different computer) to run chroot and downgrade the kernel to 3.6.11-1, and the system is now running again. An 'unconfirmed' bug is listed at https://bugs.archlinux.org/ but this seems to relate to vlc segfaulting with the new kernel, so I don't know if that's the same problem affecting me. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~
