Upgrade of kernel to 3.1

Hello!

What is the best way to upgrade the kernel to the 3.1rcX versions? I want to have a newer version of nouveau to try and get my CPU's chipset supported...

Thanks!

Re: Upgrade of kernel to 3.1

There is an inofficial repository made by someone called miffe:

Add to pacman.conf

[miffe]
Server = http://arch.miffe.org/$arch/

then:

pacman -S linux-mainline

Then add to grub config:

# Arch Linux mainline
title  Arch Linux mainline
root   (hd0,X)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux-mainline root=/dev/sdX ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-mainline.img
