When you do sudo pacman -S linux, it should just use the package in your cache. Unless you completed cleared pacman's cache that is.
I dont clean the cache for situations like this. I did reinstall linux (it did take me a few tries forsome reason), and mkinitcpio -p linux run without errors.
Rebooted and uname -r gives 3.6.11-1-ARCH, eth0 is up.
now, I ran
sudo pacman -Syyu
it is asking to upgrade to systemd and remove nss-myhostname, is there anything i should be aware of before comitting to upgrade?
]]>I would adjust your fstab to use UUIDs instead. Also try reinstalling the linux package and checking /boot again.
i'll leave fstab as is for now since everything mounts as it should. if reinstalling linux package requires internet connection then that's impossible at the moment. I need to get it to recognize 3.6.11 first, since
mkinitcpio -p linux:
ERROR: /lib/modules/3.6.10-1-ARCH is not a valid kernel module directory
since 3.6.11-1-ARCH exist in /lib/modules/ not the above one.
and this is the last command I ran when arch was working:
sudo pacman-Sy arch-install-scripts krb5
I would take a close look at /etc/fstab
Make sure that things are getting mounted where you think they are. Are you using UUIDs, or /dev/sdxx callouts in that file?
unplugged ubuntu HDD and rebooted, now /boot does't show those folders. Fstab seems to be normal and using /dev/sda.
i'm still unable to get eth0 up or x and still shows 3.6.10 instead of 3.6.11!
Do you use testing? There was a recent problem in which the installation failed because the kernel could not be identified. IIRC, It was a problem with 'file' that had been in testing for a while and was then removed. Backing that down to the version in the main repositories fixed that problem.
I suggest you ensure that boot is mounted, and just reinstall core/linux. Read the messages closely to see if there are any issues.

Unfortunately, it doesn't help. It still shows two diffrent versions.

First thing I caught, I'm checking that right now, weird!
