[SOLVED]Kernel Headers Mixup

Hello Everyone,

I've gotten myself into a bit of a confusing situation, hope someone can help out.

The output for 'uname -r' is:

$uname -r
3.4.7-1-ARCH

However, the directory '/lib/modules/' has the following contents:

$ls /lib/modules
3.4.8-1-ARCH   extramodules-3.4-ARCH

Naturally, 'make' seeks for the 3.4.7 headers and terminates when it can't find them.

(...)
make:   *** /lib/modules/3.4.7-1-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make:   *** [LINUX] Error 2

What should I do? Should I upgrade to kernel 3.4.8, or downgrade the headers to 3.4.7. In either case, I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED]Kernel Headers Mixup

Did you update the kernel without rebooting?

Re: [SOLVED]Kernel Headers Mixup

Thank you very much Allan. I can't believe I overlooked that! I did a 'pacman -Syu' recently but I didn't realize there were kernel updates included..

Well, thanks again
