[arch-general] Pacman get stack when updating the kernel!!

[Hector Martinez-Seara]

Hi,
I'm sorry for the late reply. After rebooting my computer was not
functioning any longer :). Yes, I have a USB 3.0 controller and an
external disk attached to it in a x86_64 system.  Once I unplugged the
disk everything worked as should be and I manage to install the new
kernel. I have notice that trying to downgrade to previous linux
version lead (3.0.2) lead me to the same problem despite I could
install it without any problem when it was pushed. I haven't tried to
plug it back and I won't be able to until monday. Any body knows what
happened?
Hector
PD: Thomas Bächler: I will try to reproduce the problem on Monday and
I will post you the output of 'ps fx'.
