Details

Today I ran pacman -Syu on my server. It included an upgrade from linux-lts 3.0.19-1 to 3.0.24-1. After the upgrade (and updating all .pacnew/.pacsave/...), I rebooted my server but the module wouldn't load.
So of course no network connection, which is quite annoying for a remote dedicated server...
I had to reboot it in a special rescue mode offered by my host (inside a VM accessible through VNC) and rebuild and reinstall the package by hand for my server to reboot correctly.

Relevant part from /var/log/boot:
Tue Mar 20 16:34:23 2012: :: Loading User-specified Modules [BUSY] ERROR: could not insert 'r8168': Exec format error
Tue Mar 20 16:34:23 2012: [FAIL]

Relevant part from dmesg before rebuilding the module:
[ 15.582253] r8168: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

This was on x86_64, I don't know if the i686 version is affected too.

Please bump pkgrel and rebuild the package as soon as possible, this kind of problem is terrible for servers.
This task depends upon
