Well then, looks like this issue has fixed itself for me with 3.10.3-1 dropping into [core].

Jasonwyran, are things working for you? If so, I'll likely mark the topic as Solved.

All the best,

Yep: 3.10.3 works without issue.

Sorry for nobish question, but i'm still learning the Arch way. You updated this with pacman switches (sudo pacman -Syuu), and you found trouble with upgrading. How would you try to revert back changes, for old kernel version or how you upgraded it again to a much newer version than the one that caused problems?

/var/cache/pacman/pkg contains older packages until you deleted them.

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/package.pkg.tar.xz

Just for the record, no. A standard full-system upgrade is performed using the following:

# pacman -Syu

The extra 'u' is not needed (and probably not wanted) in most cases.

All the best,

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/package.pkg.tar.xz

So, i think that the safest way is to not delete it.

You can use paccache to selectively clean your cache and only remove the oldest $n packages (default is 3).

This installation was so new and syslinux demanded that I have a separate /boot partition that I didn't have my /boot entry in /etc/fstab.

Well, it looks like this issue has cropped up for me again with 3.10.8. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

[Edit]: Problem gone again with 3.10.9…

All the best,
