Re: [SOLVED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules after update 6-16-2017

Welcome to the arch linux forums tron.  Please use code tags for command output.
Please provide the pacman.log for the update you performed along with the output of the following

$ dmesg
$ pacman -Q linux

Did you reboot after the update? I'm guessing it's trying to load modules for the running kernel but those old files are gone because the kernel package got updated.

Ropid: nope, will try that first....have not had this issue with other updates that i can remember so didn't think it would matter...but, forgot to always try the obvious first..thanks...
