[Solved]Module r8619 not found

Hey there,

I am doing a new installation of Arch, but I failed at activating the Module r8169 in order to connect to the network. Though I can manually find the r8169.ko.xz file in the correct place, when running

modprobe r8169 

,
I get the following error:

modprobe: FATAL: r8169 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.16.10-1-ARCH 

.

Is anyone here familiar with this problem and can help me?

Looking forward to hear your answer

pacman -Qs linux

The current version is 4.16.11, so if you recently updated, you forgot to mount /boot and are running a kernel different from the installed one.

Yes, that seems to be the problem. But to be honest, I'm not sure, how to fix this problem and run the new kernel instead of the old one.

Mount /boot and re-install the kernel.
If you cannot get online and don't have the kernel in your pacman cache, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … an_upgrade
