[SOLVED] Modules not loaded after upgrade linux (3.9.5-1 -> 3.11.6)

Hi. After upgrading the package linux from 3.9.5-1 to 3.11.6,
many modules such as wifi or psmouse are not loaded.
My PC is Asus Zenbook UX31E.

If I do by hand like
# modprobe ath9k
# modprobe psmouse
wifi and psmouse are OK,
but I want to set all necessary modules auto loaded.

* Output of lsmod of linux 3.9.5-1 was 87 rows
but lsmod of 3.11.6 (I attache below) is only 39 rows.

* Both
/etc/modprobe.d/
/etc/modules-load.d/
are empty on 3.9.5-1 and 3.11.6.

Please give me advice, thx.

Did you reboot?

Thx lot for such a quick reply.

Yes, I rebooded many time.
Moreover, If I downgrade to 3.9.5-1 (and reboot),
it works fine again (the modules are loaded.)

Then, I upgrade again (and reboot),
it goes back to not loaded.

best.

As a sanity check, boot 3.11.6 and compare the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux

Ensure the version numbers are identical.

That all looks correct.  I was just making sure that the boot loader was using the correct kernel.  It is.

Re: [SOLVED] Modules not loaded after upgrade linux (3.9.5-1 -> 3.11.6)

Finally, I solved this problem by myself!

I found the following comment in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
> ##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
> #    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
And this is exact what I need.
Now, the line of my is
> HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard usr fsck shutdown"
then,
% sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
solves not only this problem but also other minor errors while booting.

I hope this post would be help for someone.
Thanks anyway, guys!
