[arch-general] Linux-3.7.3-1-i686 blank screen

[Whiskers]

I ran pacmatic -Syu last night, which updated the kernel to the version in
the subject.  This afternoon, the system started to boot normally but the
display went blank before the login prompt appeared (I boot to a text
login) so I was unable to use the system.

I used my original installation disc to boot, and was able to follow the
Wiki instructions (accessed using a different computer) to run chroot and
downgrade the kernel to 3.6.11-1, and the system is now running again.

An 'unconfirmed' bug is listed at <https://bugs.archlinux.org/> but this
seems to relate to vlc segfaulting with the new kernel, so I don't know if
that's the same problem affecting me.
