[arch-dev-public] nouveau upgrade failed

[Andreas Radke]

Nouveau upgrade path was broken for me. It printed out to the screen 
something like "module 'nouveau' not found" while building the new initrd. 
It's not in the pacman.log.

I'm using early kms mode. This probably happens because the new nouveau 
module is not yet present when the kernel is updated and new initrd is 
built.

Maybe we should start to rebuild the initrd from nouveau post.update 
because we recommend early kms mode anyway whenever possible?

After reboot kms wasn't enabled. I did pacman -S kernel26 again and this 
time it picked up the module into the initrd.
