Pacman induces kernel panic (intermittent)
Hello Archers,
I've got a fresh Arch install. I'm working my way through syncing packages I want from pacman. Two times now, a call to "pacman -S" has resulted in a kernel panic requiring a hard reboot.
I've booted into my Arch CD - it was still sitting in the drive anyway 
- and recovered the kernel and pacman logs.
$ tail -22 kernel.log

I tried googling, using the wiki, and searching the forums, but all kernel-panic related problem seem to happen at boot time, not in the process of using pacman.
Some other things about my system that may or may not affect things: it's an LVM over LUKS over LVM, the lowest LVM sits across several hard-drives, and it's got an AMD64 processor but I installed off an i686 iso.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Pacman induces kernel panic (intermittent)
I just generated another kernel panic while trying to sync fuse, openssh and sshfs from pacman.
I now notice something not captured by either the kernel log or the pacman log. Before the call trace begins, I also get this message:
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
[ 8340.507133] Kernel panic - not syncing: cannot create neighbour cache statisticsStill looking for ideas here. It's really weird that pacman can work properly for a while and then all of a sudden causes a kernel panic.

Re: Pacman induces kernel panic (intermittent)
Seems like a problem being induced by r8169. pacman is just the victim.
Ta for that.
I guess a work-around if it keeps happening is that I could use the wireless card.
What do you recommend as a way to proceed?

Re: Pacman induces kernel panic (intermittent)
file a kernel bug report.
