[SOLVED] Installed linux-3.12-1 but "uname -r" outputs 3.11.6-1-ARCH.

I upgraded linux today to 3.12-1 which also let me upgrade the nvidia drivers for my system. The nvidia drivers are all messed up now so none of my screens work. nvidia-325.15-11 requires linux 3.12 which I think may be the problem given that uname -r outputs "3.11.6-1-ARCH". Pacman insists that linux 3.12 is installed though.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

UEFI or BIOS? What booloader/menu?

I'm almost 100% sure I'm using BIOS since I never had to create the UEFI partition when installing. I'm also using Grub2.

Did you reboot after the kernel update?

Yes I did. If I run "uname -r" it shows linux 3.11. Then I run pacman -S linux and it reinstalls linux 3.12. Then once again "uname -r" shows 3.11. Then once I reboot uname -r still shows 3.11 while pacman says "warning: linux-3.12-1 is up to date -- reinstalling".

Does grub point to the right place?

I have no idea. Any suggestions or links to some info on how to change grub to point to the right place?

Do you have a separate /boot partition, and was it mounted when you did the upgrade?

That did the trick! I think I had commented out the line mounting /boot in fstab when I was messing around with installing Windows 8. All is well now, thank you!
