You don't need the modules and the GUI to downgrade the kernel package if the updated kernel should be broken. > Is there a step by step how-to or wiki I could bookmark??? 1. Boot the old kernel 2. Login on the text console 3. pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-<lastworkingversion>-<arch>.pkg.tar.xz 4. reboot Old kernel and its modules are back. But before you do this, you should write down or copy the necessary error messages and details to file a bug report about the kernel issue. Heiko
