Kernel 2.6.36 looks for 2.6.35 modules?

There seems to be a problem with the installaton of the kernel upgrade to 2.6.36.
I then lost the network connection, the mouse etc.

So I restored 2.6.35.

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
sudo pacman -U ndiswrapper-1.56-5-i686.pkg.tar.xz ndiswrapper-utils-1.56-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz kernel26-2.6.35.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz tiacx-20080210-17-i686.pkg.tar.xz

Now everything is fine again. But this is not a long term solution.

Did you reboot?

Yes. Shutdown and restart.

After kernel 2.6.36 installation and reboot I got:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory

There is a /lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/modules.dep

GRUB is ok. I guess, kernel26.img is not ok.

Hi karol,

Thanks for the hint. But my installation log is different (no EXT4).

Hi karol,

Probably because you kept the filesystems hook.
Anyway, it's just a wild guess on my side.

Provided you did boot into 2.6.36 indeed, a simple

depmod -a

should do the trick, however, the installation script should have taken care of that. It might be as easy as 2.6.35 still being on there for some weird reason.

Re: Kernel 2.6.36 looks for 2.6.35 modules?

I made a mistake when experimenting with fstab. The boot partition was not mounted. The installation went into the wrong /boot.

But thank you all for the help.

Now everything is fine.
