I need to downgrad systemd to keep my system working with the older kernel (3.11.6-1). I received huge amount of errors in when I ran tail -f /var/log/messages: Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 00 38 07 28 00 00 08 00 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Result: hostbyte=0x07 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Info fld=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 00 38 07 30 00 00 08 00 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Result: hostbyte=0x07 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Info fld=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 00 38 07 38 00 00 08 00 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Result: hostbyte=0x07 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Sense Key : 0x4 [current] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: Info fld=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 00 38 07 40 00 00 08 00 Sep 5 18:49:38 localhost kernel: sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code This could be cause by my internal SD-Card-Reader. I have a Lenovo X230 tablet. I copied old versions from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ downgraded following packages: pacman -U syslog-ng-3.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz systemd-sysvcompat-216-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libsystemd-216-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz systemd-216-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-systemd-216-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz My IgnPkg line in /etc/pacman.conf is getting ridicolous: IgnorePkg = virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso virtualbox-guest-modules virtualbox-host-modules linux syslog-ng systemd-sysvcompat libsystemd systemd lib32-systemd All this just to keep USB passtrough working. Hopefully gnome will not make a dependency on a systemd version. Then I will be really f*.
