Description:
after upgrading from linux 3.11.1-1 to 3.11.1-2 the kernel does not upgrade properly. It seems there is something wrong with the pkgbuild because after upgrading my system is still trying to use 3.11.1-1 and it does not load any modules. I could not force my ethernet modules to load and was forced to downgrade to an older kernel sitting in my cache because I was left without the ability to load modules on the new kernel.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.11.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.: all defaults


Steps to reproduce:
upgrade from 3.11.1-1 to 3.11.1-2 and see your modules all fail to load (because it's looking for 3.11.1-1 stuff still)
This task depends upon

There's nothing wrong with the package -- did you forget to mount /boot for the upgrade or not copy the kernel to your EFI partition?

I'm using MBR grub2. My boot partition is always mounted.

You'll need to figure out what you've done wrong. I just booted a VM on the new package and have no problems like the ones you describe:

$ uname -r; pacman -Q linux; lsmod | wc -l
3.11.1-2-ARCH
linux 3.11.1-2
