[Solved] nvidia API mismatch:

I'm getting an error that I've not dealt with before:

API mismatch: the client module has a version 375.10 but the kernel module is 370.28. 

I'm guessing this is since I've done pacman -Syu and taken on a new kernel.

Just checking before I do anything stupid (which I probably already have to get in this situation). Is it the case that I just remove /lib/modules/4.8.6-1/extramodules/nvidia-ko.gz and then trying to reinstall the nvidia package? When I install the nvidia package it doesn't complain that this file already exists. Or is this something to do with when the kernel was installed - the module was built against that kernel? If so, how do I get that rebuilt with the version of nvidia that I'm now using?

TIA

Re: [Solved] nvidia API mismatch:

OK - I solved this by using

$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

which rebuilt that module.
