Arch hangs on boot after system update
After I ran 'pacman -Syyu' yesterday, my Arch install won't boot anymore. Instead, it hangs after 'Reached target Graphical Interface' with a blinking underscore. It is the first time I've encountered such problems after running Arch for almost a year and frequently updating. Am I right to assume it might have something to do with the recent kernel/nvidia drivers update?

Re: Arch hangs on boot after system update
If you hit ctl-alt-f2, what happens?

I get into tty2, and can log in/reach the command line.

So the system boots fine, your Display Manager just won't start.

Re: Arch hangs on boot after system update
Solved the issue by replacing nvidia, nvidia-utils and nvidia-libgl by the 340xx versions. Apparently I'm having some issues with monitor detection, though.
