No boot after today's (2012-6-16) pacman -Syyu

Updated my RPi today and now it doesn't boot anymore. Just the red LED, nothing else.

I did:

Power on
Login
# pacman -Syyu
# reboot

Anyone else has made this experience? What can I do now? Reinstall? Any new images out there (the latest is from April).

How long ago was your previous update?
Can you remember which packages were updated this time?

Shame on me, not exactly.

The last update was the day before yesterda.

I remember having seen linux-raspberry-3.1.9-...

There was a six hour period where there was a kernel update, but no firmware update, that caused this
You going to have to get all the files, except kernel.img, from here
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... aster/boot
When you boot, do Syu again

Sorry for my ignorance (not git user), but how may I get at those files?

cd /tmp/alarm
git checkout https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... aster/boot

That doesn't do it somehow...

git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git

Seems to be down?

Cloning into 'firmware'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

Search google on how to extract an xz file
wget http://us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/a ... pkg.tar.xz

Looks good again. Thanks a lot!
