Description:
After installing the latest nvidia package, the kernel module fails to load with the error:
nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

After downgrading to the previous version I had in the pacman cache I was able to load the kernel module.

Additional info:
* package version: 387.22-1-x86_64
* config: default installed configuration

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to latest packages and reboot. The nvidia driver will fail to load, causing X to fail to load as well.
This task depends upon

Same issue. Not sure if it is worth noting, but I had to downgrade gdm and libgdm in addition to the usual nvidia packages, in order to get to the graphical target.

Same here. I had to boot into recovery mode, then downgrade all "nvidias" and rebiuld the initramfs file.
