Sorry, but this bugreport is completely not helpful. Which kernel version did you install exactly, and where is your dmesg output?
Comment by Ali (G0ds-servant) - Monday, 04 April 2011, 12:17 GMT
excuse me, which version of kernel included in 'arch core 2010.05'? 2.6.33.4, That's right. well, i've installed the it (arch core 2010.05 with kernel 2.6.33.4). after update the system (pacman -Syu), Kernel 2.6.33.4-1 upgraded to "kernel26 2.6.37.5-1", as well as kernel26-firmware-2.6.33.4-1 to linux-firmware-20110227-1. Everything was good. after i restart system i realized that usb ports such as mouse/keyboard don't work.
now, again install arch, but before update, added "IgnorePkg = kernel26 kernel26-firmware" line in "/etc/pacman.conf", then update the system. now system work very well, but i can't update the kernel.
Indeed, I cannot give any output of "dmesg" command when keyboard don't work. Thank you for help.
# uname -a -> Linux myhost 2.6.33-ARCH

We need a dmesg output, without that we can't help you. Can you try to access your machine remotely trough SSH after the new kernel has booted? Another possibility would be a PS/2 keyboard or a bootup script that saves the output of dmesg to a file once and reboots your system after that.

not updating a kernel can cause to breakage in the future, what if you use the latest kernel does the bug still remain?

unless with "pacman -Syu" command، after first install arch-core, kernel will not be updated?!
anyway this is "dmesg" after update system that usb devices don't work:
   dmesg2 (22.3 KiB)

That's a dmesg output from 2.6.33, which is way outdated. I don't even see any USB module getting loaded btw.

kernel will not be updated,with "pacman -Syu" command?
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Friday, 15 April 2011, 10:08 GMT
Normally it will. Granted you are using an up to date mirror and of course reboot the system to use it.
Whats the output of uname -a ? If its still 2.6.33 you are not using a new kernel.

its still 2.6.33.
this is my speak that,when i install arch-core and update it, how fall from work usb and network ports? unless with "pacman -Syu" all of the packages no update? now in the other system that reinstall arch-core and update it, my network and usb ports don't work!?
