[arch-general] Suspend to RAM -- reboots instead of resuming

2009-09-13 Thread Stephen Wilkinson
Hello All, I recently put a new SATA drive in my computer and decided to start with a fresh install of Arch. Before this upgrade, suspend to RAM worked fine (although I don't know if it was with kernel or uswsusp). (I should say, I'm not sure if the SATA upgrade is a cause of my problem or simply

Hello All, I have both xf86-video-vesa and nvidia-96xx installed, but I have issues with the proprietary drivers, so I wanted to try out vesa with libgl. I can remove nvidia-96xx, but trying to remove nvidia-96xx-utils flags lots of conflicts. I was going to use pacman -Rc but that would mean uni

[arch-general] Boot sequence stops at modules (rc.sysinit)

2008-02-29 Thread Stephen Wilkinson
Hello everyone, After upgrading the kernel alone (and after fixing some kernel panics -- see postscript) the boot sequence now stops at loading the modules ([DONE]) and goes no further: the cursor blinks and I can type characters, but I never get a shell prompt. It seems the boot sequence doesn't
