[SOLVED]Linux 3.10.6 fails to detect network interfaces, input devices

I upgraded my ASUS laptop to Linux 3.10.6 and I can no longer use my mouse or keyboard in a desktop environment. A USB mouse faired no better. The keyboard works in console mode. I've done a couple reboots and a good deal of searching online, but no one seems to have the same problem. My first inclination was that udev was no longer running, but a quick "ps -aux | grep udev" revealed that systemd-udevd was running, but not udev itself. Is it safe to start it manually? My network interfaces have also disappeared, BTW, and the font size in console mode has also changed (size has increased, font is fuzzier). Any ideas?

EDIT: I do have the loopback interface.

lsmod shows:
ext4
crc16
mbcache
jbd2
hid_multitouch
hid_generic
usbhid
hid
sd_mod
ahci
libahci
libata
ehci_pci
scsi_mod
ehic_hcd
xhci_hcd
usbcore
usb_common

Does your running kernel match what pacman has installed?  Do uname -r and compare that against the version of pacman -Q linux.  If they are different, reboot.

Nice catch! uname shows that I have 3.10.6 running, but pacman says I have 3.10.7 installed. I rebooted, but the mismatch doesn't go away. Do I need to regenerate my grub image?

Yep. Regenerating my kernel image and my grub config fixed the issue. Thanks!
