[arch-general] Kernel 3.2.1 woes

I'm not sure, and this is something I should certainly try.  However, along with
the upgrade from 3.1.9 to 3.2.1 came an nvidia package upgrade from 290.10-1 to
290.10-2.  Since the only difference is the arch package release number and the
fact that 290.10-1 requires a kernel version < 3.2 and 290.10-2 requires a
kernel version >= 3.2, I would think the 290.10-2 package is simply a rebuilt of
this package against the new kernel.

As I said, I don't see any issues on my Core i7 box with NVIDIA graphics, and
the setups of these two boxes in terms of installed packages and configuration
is pretty much identical.  So I really think there's something going on with
this dual-Opteron board at the kernel level, but I should certainly rule out the
simple fixes first.

Cheers,
