[FIXED] kmod update completely hoses my system
I was using IgnorePkg to stop linux and linux-headers from upgrading since catalyst drivers didn't work with 3.1 kernels. Like an idiot I installed the kmod update. When I boot up it can't find or load any drivers. I tried to downgrade back to module-init-tools but udev also updated and I don't have an older version in my package cache.
Looks like I'll have to boot an installer disc and chroot in to the system to fix it.

It should have created a .pacsave file in /etc/modprobe.d. If it did, mv that file to filename modules.

I guess it's specific to my situation. I managed to fix it now anyway.

Re: [FIXED] kmod update completely hoses my system
Until I see a bug report with actual logs in the bug tracker, nothing is broken. You'd be the first to report such a failure.
Hi,
Although this one bug report does not mention kmod, it could be a related problem:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28038
At home, the machine next to mine has modules which were not working anymore. The solution found at the moment has been to blacklist on the kernel line and load manually...
For what it is worth...

This is the same wifi crap that's been going around. It's broken because of userspace changes, but it needs to be fixed in the kernel:

I apologize. modprobe.conf.pacsave needs to be moved to modprobe.conf, not "modules".
