Hi Peter,
I cannot find the error message from the service again, sorry, so I
cannot tell You, it had to do with some security parameter not set.
It might be in journalctl(1)'s output.
Sorry, cannot find that. :-/
According to the description of kernel downgrading in the wiki, I
should have downgraded linux-headers, too, but these are not in my
package cache - are they included in the kernel package now?
No. It's still a package.

If your cache no longer has old packages, you can use the online
Archive.

Thank You, Ralph! I now wonder where the linux-headers are cached, as
they're not in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, and I've checked they're installed
in version 4.17.8 (so probably may cause problems). Are these headers
used for compilation of modules only, or do they add some more value to
the running linux system, too?
Kind regards
Peter
