Hi.

How to upgrade from 3.11-7 to 3.12 kernel?

I'm in "build".

Thanks.

I'll make a sticky post for this soon.

as always, update first

sudo pacman -Syu

Next check what all depends on linux in your system

pacman -Qi linux

look for the line "required by=", anything there needs the -next version (except lirc-utils, no -next version available, and might be removed from the repo's soon anyway).

To install the latest kernel:

sudo pacman -S linux-next

and add any other -next version you had of packages in the "required by" line, examples linux-next-headers, nvidia-next.

After all is installed regenerate grub

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

On reboot, linux-next will be the default kernel to boot into, stable kernel is still an available choice. Do not remove the stable kernel, much better to always have two options for kernels to boot into.

Thanks.

KDE 4.12 beta 2 and 3.12.0-1 running perfectly.

Linux Kernel 3.12 work fine for me, very fast an stable

Yes, and the first update to it (3.12.1) is looking like it is going to get only 12 patches......

The lts and 3.11 are on way higher numbers, but need many more patches for Wednesday release. Looks like 3.12 might need to move to stable sooner than previous kernels.
