Upgrade from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 [Solved]

I've tried every way to downgrade to 2.6.31 from 2.6.32 and produced two veggies in the process.:rolleyes:
I'm going to reload from cd which will bring me to 2.6.30. Once that's done can I upgrade to 2.6.31 via "pacman -S kernel26-2.6.31"?
Once I add "IgnorePkg=kernel26" to pacman.conf then I can safely do a pacman -Syu?
Thanks...:P

no you can't. we don't support multiple versions of any package.
ARM machine or an out of date mirror and download kernel + external modules that depend of kernel and install ?

as an additional question, why do you want to downgrade?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Upgrade from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 [Solved]

Reasons: Laptop suspend locks up, random lockups in multiple apps, lose network connection periodically and some other things that I don't remember at the moment. I had a flawless laptop until 32, can't live with the unpredictability. I been using Arch for 2 years and never experienced problems like these. I've managed to fix several problems but the suspend and lockups still persist and it's time to move on...

A good nights sleep helped me get my "arch attitude" back so I'll stick with 32 and work thru/around the bugs.:cool:
Thanks for the help...
