That's why I installed the update-grub package a while back since grub
then gets automatically updated so it uses the latest kernel to be
loaded onto the machine. That's an aur package too.

Hey list,
After, as suggested in arch-annoucne, I force-upgrated ttf-dejavu
I made a full system upgrade with pacman -Syu.
This installed the latest linux kernel. (the one in the subject line)
The initram was completed successfully and I procceded to reboot.
Then Xserver would complain about my intel module (i915)
After a while I figured that nothin was loaded. I had no internet
connection (ip link would only show loopback), when I plugged a USB drive
the kernel woudln't detect it, and so on...
This usually happens because the bootloader is finding an old kernel.
Either /boot wasn't mounted during the upgrade or the bootloader is looking at
the wrong place.
