Crying? Where? I just say that few last kernel updates were not the best.
That's all. Calm down.

I do realize the best part you can do is join the test process, and
stop crying for that.

Whichever he meant, such comments are a bit out of line. The devs (Arch
or kernel) don't exist to make your life easier.

Surely you mean the _kernel_ developers, right?

Last 2 or 3 new kernels brought us pain.
Maybe developers had diarea. Or something like that.

Kernel updates always go through [testing] first.

Thanks. I just found it in testing. Install fixed my problem. Very
frustrating though.

Hi,

I'm experiencing the issue as discussed here on the forums:

The fix mentioned is to run kernel26-headers -2.

I am currently running "core/kernel26-headers 2.6.35.6-1 [installed]"

I asked how to get -2 on IRC and was told to wait until my mirror
updates. I tried a closer mirror and even manually looked at some of
the mirrors and none of them appear to have 2.6.35.6-2.

How can I upgrade to -2 without waiting for a mirror update?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what they mean by '-2'?

Thanks.
