Re: system not upgrading..

Read the news here and here

These are both available on the home page.  Be sure to check that page regularly if you continue with arch.

Asking questions that are clearly answered there will often not be met too graciously, however, for the moment it seems the interventions required in some of the available installation iso's are falling deeper into the news 'history'.

EDIT: I suspect you'll also need to read the pacman 4 note and the kmod note.  These are more prominently visible on the main page.
