Warning: ATI/AMD with catalyst and Kernel 3.5.5

Hi,

Today in the morning i try to update the system with the usual pacman -Syu, however a new kernel shows and after the proper upgrade, catalyst starts to fail, i have focus in about 2 hours to try to fix and nothing (probably with more effort the fix will appear)... after dealing with console, need to revert to the kernel 3.5.4

I don't use Catalyst, Intel here, but do you have "catalyst-dkms" installed?  My gross understanding is that will help reconfigure the proprietary driver properly when the kernel is updated?

What headkase said worked for me, I was crashing and getting particles after the update with the unofficial catalyst+xorg112 mirrors. I removed all those, installed catalyst-dkms from the official mirror and all is working fine now.

After a new reinstall all looks fine, specially with kernel 3.5.6
