bad time to pacman -Syu?

both of my machines fell victim to kernel panics today. i guess that makes sense with my recent luck...

just thought that was kind of funny (in a way)

two, maybe three days ago at the most
one of them i need running tomorrow for sure. i tried to reinstall from scratch on the other but that didnt seem to want to work either, which is a first for me. never had trouble getting a fresh install up through a working Gnome ever with Arch, even the first time.

whatever, ill get it going

Are you using mainboards with Intel chipsets?

If you get a kernel panic below and are using an Intel chipset, append 'earlymodules=piix' to the kernel commandline

Me too.  I then skim through the forums to see what will screw up this time, and allot time for fixes accordingly.  8)
