Kernel 2.6.38.3 doesn't boot correctly

Hi

I have two problems with this new kernel.
Both problems disappear when I downgrade to 2.6.38.2.
They are :
1) network doesn't start, in messages.log i have those errors :

Apr 21 08:28:17 homer modprobe: FATAL: Could not read '/lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko': No such file or directory

2) gdm (in fact X) doesn't start, in Xorg.0.log I have those errors

[    14.434] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
[    14.434] (EE) NVIDIA:     system's kernel log for additional error messages.

Does anybody know how to solve those issues ?
Thanks

That should be a pretty clear error message. I'm guessing none of the modules needed for your hardware were able to be loaded in. Did your computer crash/power off while updating your system? You might want to try to reinstall the kernel.

Same error here, I don't know how to recompile or solve this problem. Please help me because I'm writing this message from windows.

Re: Kernel 2.6.38.3 doesn't boot correctly

Ok thanks I downgraded kernel version. I had 2.6.38.4 and now I've 2.6.38.3. Now I'd like to know why these errors are happening in that kernel version. I put kernel26 and kernel26-headers in Ignorepkg in the pacman configuration file.
