[SOLVED] catalyst-hook failed to rebuild driver after kernel upgrade

kevlar1818 · 2014-03-28 14:05:12

I attempted a system upgrade this morning and saw there was a Linux kernel update. All went smoothly, until catalyst-hook failed to rebuild my video driver...

Now I'm worried about rebooting and having to tangle with a crippled OS. Can anyone advise a course of action?

You shouldn't have any problems. catalyst-hook rebuilds the modules only if necessary and only on reboots: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … alyst-hook

Not quite. That is mkinitcpio rebuilding the kernel modules on the kernel upgrade. The reason this error happens is because the linux package is installed before the corresponding headers package is installed.

If you have enabled the catalyst-hook.service, you don't need to worry about this because catalyst-hook will catch it and build the module on shutdown, if it needs to be built.

Whatever the issue, it looks like all is well after reboot.
