Folks my kernel downgrade did not work, I'm clueless. It reports a problem
reading /boot partition saying something about it being not a valid ext2
partition. I need to take a picture of that as it hangs before init 1 so I
have no logs.  I was able to chroot and revert to 3.3.8-1 kernel. Also, is
there a procedure I can use to have multiple kernels? Well of course it is,
better question is wheter https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke …
ild_System<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernels/Compilation/Arch_Build_System>is
the best approach to do so. I still clueless about what is the
problem.

I will try to build my kernel again and see what happens. By the way so far
I've used only vanilla kernels.
