[SOLVED]3.18.5-1-ARCH + system-modules-load.service on Macbook Pro 9,2

After upgrading from 3.18.4-1-ARCH to 3.18.5-1-ARCH this weekend, my systemd service system-modules-load fails during bootup. I checked out

# systemctl status system-modules-load

and found nothing but a warning that my journal has been rotated and the log output is incomplete. I have not hunted down the log or rooted through dmesg as of yet - I need my system functional while working during the week, so I downgraded my kernel back to 3.18.4 for now (under which system-modules-load loads fine). I will reinstall 3.18.5 next weekend and see if I can locate the problem - this post is just a feeler to see if anyone else is encountering this problem with the latest kernel.

Find out which module you're asking to load isn't able to load.  Start with

cat /etc/modules-load.d/*

The grep them out of your demsg to see which is causing the trouble.

Yep. It was my own fault. I had been using the b43 driver for my BCM4331 wifi card, and recently switched to broadcom-wl. However, I still was trying to load b43 in /etc/modules-load even though I had removed the driver and module from my system. Not sure why my system only started complaining in 3.18.5, but in any case removing the offending .conf file solved the problem. Thanks, graysky.
