[SOLVED] Linux-ck 3.12-2.2 fails to boot into X

Hi,
After a recent kernel upgrade linux-ck refuses to boot. It seems to halt searching for something, i think is the wifi-card but cant confirm it . Downgraded to linux-ck 3.12.1-3 for the moment and everything is working fine.
Anyone experiencing similar issues.

Im running Arch x86_64.

Yeah this is the thread you want to check / follow(just go to last page):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111715

Everything should be fine now though. Just sync and upgrade everything to 3.12.3-1-ck should be fine now

Re: [SOLVED] Linux-ck 3.12-2.2 fails to boot into X

Wow. Thank you dodo3773,  for the quick answer !!!.
The update did the trick. However i keep getting an error in loading the modules. I dont think this is exclusive to linux-ck since i tried with the current version of linux and it says the same.
I did

status systemd-modules-load.service

And i get...

 Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since jue 2013-12-05 01:09:36 CST; 4min 12s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
           man:modules-load.d(5)
  Process: 133 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 133 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Ideas??

Re: [SOLVED] Linux-ck 3.12-2.2 fails to boot into X

I was getting the same thing when my system wouldn't boot. It was due to the graphics driver not loading. So, one or more modules aren't loading. Check out the troubleshooting section of the arch wiki page for systemd:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/sy … leshooting

Hopefully from there you can determine which module isn't loading. Perhaps there is a module (maybe from a package in aur?) that needs to be rebuild (maybe just reinstalling package $x will do the trick?).

Aha, ok solved i forgot to recompile the virtual box module, i now use dkms.

Well, is almost solved. However this new kernerl version is not friend with plymouth, since im using it to display splash screen. Booting with plymouth enabled gives a unusable X. However i have encountered this issue with plymouth before, and i think is pymouth fault. But previous linux-ck versions offered no problem. Bad luck.

I think i will mark the thread as solved.

Glad you sorted out your issue. No clue about plymouth as I don't use splash screen effects (maybe just rebuild plymouth? I don't know). Probably a topic for another thread anyways.
