Details

After updating the kernel (to 3.15.7-1), I was unable to start an X server.

My Xorg logs reported: "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module".

My kernel logs gave more information: "nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout".

I had nvidia-340.24-1 installed from the arch repos. When I rebuilt nvidia from abs (thanks to a suggestion from helpers on #archlinux), the problem went away.

Cheers!
