NVidia Kernel 3.2 black screen

I have a Geforce 560 and can't boot with the new kernel aswell.
Unfortunately amd_iommu=off doesn't fix this issue for me!

When GDM trys to load the screen goes blank and after some time I get this error:
gdm-binary[893]: WARINGING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.052566 seconds repeatedly.

I tried to uninstall nvidia and nvidia-utils but with nouveau I can't even get into a console, the screen goes blank. Had to chroot with a livecd, now I'm back at nvidia.

I can't even downgrade the kernel because there is no older version in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ (my installation is 3 days old).

Please help me out, I'm freaking out. I need a working system!

Re: NVidia Kernel 3.2 black screen

I'm at work now. So I'll just sudo pacman -U that package: http://arm.konnichi.com/core/os/x86_64/ … pkg.tar.xz?

Won't there be like a million dependency issues when I downgrade a Kernel that way?
