Appreciate your efforts. I'll keep working at it to find an easier way to keep track of the mobo-specific kernels I create. Thanks again for your efforts.

I did a pacman -Rns linux-lqx prior to installing the rebuilt linux-lqx(with the custom name). Maybe this has something to do.I mean if you haven't done that yourself... This is all I can think of for now. Making that work for your case turns out to be beyond my knowledge. Next step is a completely modified PKGBUILD just for your needs.

No errors here either but I end up in emergency mode when I re-boot. I've had it work before without any changes to the kernel version but it doesn't seem to work now.

Yeah, two of my experiments must have mixed up 'cause I made a whole new PKGBUILD just for that and probably installed one on top of the other... I just recompiled and I have what you have,but I have a working system and I got no errors during kernel install - initramfs went fine,etc. I use nvidia driver and it is working. I don't use LVM, so no way to test that. The way this is supposed to work is just let you append a string to the kernel version and everything else should be normal - i.e. no need to mess with your bootloader config. Is your system working with this setup?

I don't seem to get extramodules-3.12-lqx-M5A99X_EVO or initramfs-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO-fallback.img vmlinuz-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO initramfs-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO.img ls -l /lib/modules 3.12.6-1-ARCH 3.12.6-1-lqx-M5A99X_EVO extramodules-3.12-ARCH extramodules-3.12-lqx ls /boot EFI initramfs-linux-lqx-fallback.img initramfs-linux-lqx.img vmlinuz-linux-lqx

OK, I added an option _append_kernel_custom_string to the PKGBUILD. Change that to your desire.It works on my system,no errors. Changed, rebuilt the kernel and here's my uname -r now :) [shivik@archenemy ~]$ uname -r 3.12.6-1-lqx-M5A99X_EVO My /lib/modules looks like this now: [shivik@archenemy modules]$ ls 3.12.6-1-ARCH 3.12.6-1-lqx-M5A99X_EVO extramodules-3.12-ARCH extramodules-3.12-lqx-M5A99X_EVO Keep in mind that this changes your /boot kernel and initramfs filenames,so you have to edit your bootloader config file accordingly. [shivik@archenemy boot]$ ls initramfs-linux-fallback.img initramfs-linux.img vmlinuz-linux initramfs-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO-fallback.img lost+found vmlinuz-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO initramfs-linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO.img syslinux

As suggested I appended -M5A99X_EVO in the PKGBUILD instead of running xconfig but got the error below instead: ==> Finished making: linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO 3.12.6-1 (Wed Jan 8 19:37:51 EST 2014) ==> Installing package linux-lqx-M5A99X_EVO with pacman -U... loading packages... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

What about it? I just tried it out of curiosity. Removed nvidia, nvidia-lqx, installed nvidia-dkms, reboot, works.
