[Load modules failed]Cannot boot after update (solved)

EDIT :

I don't know what was wrong but I tried to reinstall the kernel again (yaourt -S linux) and mkinitcpio was fine. I rebooted and it was okay. Does anybody know why ?

Thank you.

===========================

Hi,

yesterday, I updated my system with "yaourt -Syu". I started my computer this morning and I have a problem with the kernel and the modules. While the system is loading, I can see "Loading Modules [failed]", the same for "Activating swap".

I can reach KDE but I can't login because my mouse and my keyboard don't work. I tried to look for answers in /var/log/* but nothing so far.

What I found with this command "zcat /proc/config.gz  | grep EXT2" is that ext2 is compiled as a module and my kernel is on /dev/sda1 (ext2). Could it be the problem ?

I tried the fallback and modprobe ext2, it didn't work because it was ext2.ko.gz so I used this "gunzip ext2.ko.gz". I don't know if it's a good thing but now, I can modprobe ext2 without errors.

I can't do this command "mkinitcpio -p linux" because I have a lot of errors in pata section :

==> ERROR: module not found ''xxx"

and I have a lot of modules not found.

I tried abs to compile the ext2 filesystem in the kernel and not as a module but I can't because of this :

# abs
rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.archlinux.org 873: Name or service not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.9]

Does anyone have an idea how to fix that ?

Thank you.

Re: [Load modules failed]Cannot boot after update (solved)

i had the same trouble yesterday. but it showed an error regarding mkinitcpio during 'pacman -Syu' update, but i disregarded it without reading the details of  it and rebooted it.

following which the keboards froze at GDM, i couldnt type.during rebooting there was a 'failure to mount local file system' which was persisting, i tried fsck by booting into fedora.

removed the gdm daemon rc.conf and the system started to work from console.

i tried reinstalling the linux kernel and reloaded the gdm daemon and everything in GUI started to work again.

phew... i felt for a moment that i have to go in for a OS reinstall.
