[SOLVED] pacman -Syu on 10/17/2012, systemd can't load kernel modules

Ok, I did a [pacman -Syu] on my laptop, and everything went well. So I decided to upgrade my PC as well, did a reboot and then couldn't ssh into it.
Had to access the machine, and found

# systemctl --failed
UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    JOB DESCRIPTION
dhcpcd@eth0.service          loaded failed failed     dhcpcd on eth0
httpd.service                loaded failed failed     Apache Web Server
systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed     Load Kernel Modules

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
JOB    = Pending job for the unit.

3 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

so it failed to load kernel modules...

# systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:27:11 -0400; 45min ago
	    Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
	          man:modules-load.d(5)
	 Process: 102 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-modules-load.service

Oct 17 18:27:11 MyHost systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.

... then I checked network devices

# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
# ip addr show dev eth0
Device "eth0" does not exist.

... then the modules; and I saw that none appeared for the Ethernet...

# lspci -v | grep Ethernet -A8
00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2a6c
	Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
	Memory at fe02d000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
	I/O ports at fc00 [size=8]
	Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable+ 64bit+
	Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Enable- Fixed+

... whereas they did for other devices

# lspci -v | grep Kernel
	Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd
	Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd
	Kernel driver in use: sata_nv
	Kernel driver in use: sata_nv
	Kernel driver in use: pcieport
	Kernel driver in use: pcieport
	Kernel driver in use: pcieport
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau

I'm guessing it's probably something with the new image after the pgrade, but I don't know which module to load nor do I
understand why systemd isn't loading the modules when it was working stable enough to act as a headless server before. However, I've only been a week or so with systemd and might have overlooked something in the configs. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Please. I'm desperate.

I'm having the same problem with network ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1180001 ) and now with fglrx module sad

Plantroon, thanks for the reply. The problem was that systemd seemed to be working fine for the first week or so-- so well in fact, that I decided to run the computer as a headless server. After thinking the system was stable the issue with there being no "existing eth0 device" found seemed to be a real bummer. I'll browse through the posts and see if I get anything through. I probably missed something.

Seems Nvidia Forcedeth module is not loading, try this;

echo forcedeth > /etc/modules-load.d/forcedeth.conf

Yep, I got that far, and tried the same advice from a different user with a 'tee' command which did the same thing, but unfortunately the forcedeth module can't be loaded because its in a different directory than the 'uname -r' specification allows modprobe to search for. I posted my attempts here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1181940
