I installed a small program and that triggered pacman to update the whole system including the kernel. During this process, I realized kernel updates could be handled better:
Kernel updates delete the old modules and so the newly installed modules don't match the running kernel. The running kernel can't now load any further modules. I believe modules should never be deleted by the system (or at least in a much smarter way).
This becomes quite annoying. How do you guys work around this issue?
I can't even insmod a new module with the right path to it in the old, running, kernel as it refuses to load modules from another kernel version.
