[SOLVED] Unable to boot after last pacman upgrade

99Percent · 2012-06-20 18:41:19

Since the last pacman -Syu upgrade I have not been able to boot. I also cannot get the keyboard working at any runlevel. I can access my mdadm raid by booting an Arch Linux install USB stick so I was able to get to the log files.

This is the boot log:

The screen gets stuck at that last "warning" (which has several repeats).

rebuild/re-install your nvidia drivers and try again.

I discovered that the kernel had not been properly upgraded. I chroot to the system after booting with a USB stick and did pacman -U with the latest kernel package that was stored in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and that fixed it.
