To me it happened with the .30-3 or .30-4 kernel from _testing_ and btw my
laptop has an nvidia card.
Seems i had updated  and hadnt rebooted for about a week to check if it
actually works.
I revented back to .29, along with a downgrade of klibc, mkinitcpio etc,
booted
and updated to -5 from core this morning. This one works OK.
