Re: Nvidia driver problem after upgrade kernel
Did you reboot? Do you have [testing] enabled or did you download the updated nvidia drivers from [testing]? 3.10.10-1 is a binary breaker.

Re: Nvidia driver problem after upgrade kernel
Are these nvidia drivers form the official repo or some version from th AUR? IF the latter, you have to rebuild them.
The install script reminds you to reboot https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ges/nvidia

Re: Nvidia driver problem after upgrade kernel
same thing happened to me. The maintainer should have had linux-3.10.10 depend on nvidia-325.15-5.
Instead, he probably just thought he would upload them at the same time 
hoping that it would be ok.
Obviously mirrors sync differently, and we both got screwed. Luckily I could still get to a VT, and upgrade after the nvidia pkg synced.
