@Lockheed after a kernel upgrade you must reboot


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Well, back in ubuntu it was nothing strange to see packaged for different versions installed alongside one another.
Anyway, I solved it by updating the system with yaourt. Thanks.
