How to upgrade to Linux kernel from 2.6.37?

How to upgrade to Linux kernel 3 from 2.6.37?
pacman -Su won't go further.

Re: How to upgrade to Linux kernel from 2.6.37?

Upgrades in archlinux utilize ...pacman -Syu.....

To specify a particular kernel, ....pacman -S linux....

Best to use ...pacman -Syu....to get all items upgraded.

pacman -Syyu

If that doesn't work, choose an up-to-date mirror and try again...

This is what I get;

pacman -S linux
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: linux and kernel26 are in conflict. Remove kernel26? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: aufs2: requires kernel26>=2.6.37.3
:: aufs2: requires kernel26<2.6.38
:: ndiswrapper: requires kernel26>=2.6.37
:: ndiswrapper: requires kernel26<2.6.38

I have up to date mirrorlist

Pacman -Syyu gives after while

You have to remove those packages (aufs2, ndiswrapper) and try again.
They're in the AUR now, if you really need them, you can try to install them later.

Re: How to upgrade to Linux kernel from 2.6.37?

Actually, ndiswrapper is in the repos http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=ndiswrapper
Sorry ;P

aufs that works with linux 3 kernel is called aufs3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go

You still need to remove these old incompatible packages. Upgrade your whole system (not just the kernel) with 'pacman -Syu' and later install the packages you want .e.g ndiswrapper.
