I changed mirrors and that seemed to have done the trick. Well, umm, not
really. What I mean is two kernel26.32 packages got updated but now my
machine is completely dead in the water! I guess I'm gonna have to boot with
the live CD when I get home and start downgrading some packages <sigh>.
This is the first time I've upgraded kernel packages and have my machine
fall completely over! no boot! I'm at work now so can't deal further with
this until I get home tonight but...
Hi,
Did you pacman -Syu, or did you just update the kernel when you
updated after you changed the mirror? Also, you can expect problems
with the 26.32 series, as it has just been introduced. However, in all
the time I have been using Arch, I have never had my machine break
massivly from a kernel update.
Thanks,
Laurie
P.S. Don't top post, it can make things hard to read.
Yes I did. I recalled 4 packages being specified for update. I forget
their exact names now but two of them were kernel26-32 related. They
each had an additional qualifier like driver, module, etc. Sorry, I'm
not at that computer right now and it can't boot yet anyway <sigh>.
