I ran a full upgrade using 'pacman -Syu' which included a kernel upgrade.
It started fine but then went into the toilet, as follows:

Arseburger was shouted loudly.
Dr. Google did not help.
It seems that the kernel modules have moved to /usr/lib/modules from /lib/modules
I put a symlink in /lib to the new location. ln -s /usr/lib/modules /lib/modules
I then ran the install of the kernel again and all was good.
WooHoo! Simple really
