I recently updated my system with pacman -Syu; everything worked fine,

I updated 'nvidia', but now when it starts it complains of being unable
to allocate DMA memory and aborts.
My Xorg.0.log is here: http://sprunge.us/GOLS
I had pretty much the same problem (same error in the log), but i
could get X to start by just doing
% rmmod nvidia
% modprobe nvidia
After every reboot I had the same problem.
To solve it I did
% mkinitcpio -p kernel26
and after that everything was fine, I didn't have to downgrade anything.
BTW, I have nvidia in the MODULES list in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
That may have something to do with me being able to solve it like this.
