Hi,
I just upgraded from 3.16.2-1 to 3.16.3-1 and my W530 laptop started having multiple issues. My network cards and maybe other PCI devices are no longer recognized. I don't see any errors in dmesg but udevd seems to just not be picking up these devices at all. I can see the devices in lspci -v but there is no driver listed for them. What could be the problem? Any ideas about how to force arch to attempt to load the drivers for these devices? Can I see a changelog or a diff of the changes between 3.16.2-1 and 3.16.3-1 somewhere?
Sorry I don't have the logs and actual lspci output. I'm typing this on my phone. If this info is not enough I'll get the logs tomorrow night and post them here too.

Okay, looks like there were some changes to network related stuff in the 3.16.3 patch: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel … -3.16.3.xz
I guess this means that this is not an arch issue? What's the right place to report this? I'm having difficulties figuring out which git commits this patch is for. Is there a way for me to look them up on this thing? http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel … linux.git/ How do you guys normally track down issues like this?

Mystery solved. It was a PEBKAC issue. I didn't have /boot mounted properly (at all), so when I upgraded it didn't actually write to the real boot partition. It was trying to boot the old kernel image with the new kernel modules and obviously that ended badly. I discovered this when I tried to add linux-lts to my grub config and it turned out that there is no grub there at all.
