If you, too, don't use [testing] and get kernel panics then this is because there is at least one important package update which is needed by kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 missing in [core]. I guess it's mkinitcpio. If you update your system to [testing] then it works again. So the packages which are currently in [testing] urgently need to be moved to [core] or kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 urgently needs to be moved back to [testing] until the other packages are moved to [core], too. I think the first option is the better one. This should be done before more users, who are using the stable repos, get serious problems. See my bug report at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17649 and my e-mail "[arch-general] Kernel panic with kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 from [core]". Greetings, Heiko
