Raspberry Pi version mismatch

[ThaWalrus]

Hello, this is my first post, bear with me...

Recently I have installed Arch Linux ARM on my Raspberry Pi. I downloaded 'http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz' which was last updated on '03-Oct-2014 13:39'.

I have a WiFi dongle that needs drivers to make it function. I started by looking up the drivers it would need and install the required dependencies. However, when I want to install the right driver, it shows me it can't find the right header files.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S dkms-8188eu

Packages (3): dkms-2.2.0.3-14 make-4.0-2 dkms-8188eu-v4.1.4_6773-2

If your kernel is >= 3.12 and comes with
rtlwifi driver you will have to blacklist
rtlwifi for this driver to work

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S linux-raspberrypi-headers') doesn't seem to do the trick, because it installs headers with version 3.12.29-1, it seems. (Last updated '07-Oct-2014 13:07', which is after the Arch Linux ARM Raspberry Pi's '03-Oct-2014 13:39')

I don't consider myself a Linux newbie, but I'm definitely not an expert.

Hope someone can point out the mistake I'm making here. Thanks!

A pacman -Syu before you started might have helped

[ThaWalrus]

I have done that a countless amount of times. It didn't help.

Example results.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'root@alarmpi:~[root@alarmpi ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community 2.4 MiB 685K/s 00:04 [######################] 100%
alarm is up to date
aur is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
[root@alarmpi ~]# uname -r
3.12.28-2-ARCH')

I stay on 3.12.28-2, and the headers that are installed are 3.12.29-1.

This is strange, they match in repo.
What's in your /etc/fstab (looking for /dev/mmvblk0p1 being mounted as /boot)

If that's the problem, fix fstab, mount -a, and reinstall kernel and headers

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pepedog', 'T')his is strange, they match in repo.

The repo here
http://os.archlinuxarm.org/armv6h/core/
You could always try
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://os.archlinuxarm.org/armv6h/core/linux-raspberrypi-3.12.29-1-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz')
Remember to sync && reboot after kernel install

Rebooting, syncing and installing by the link did the trick. Still not very sure were it all went wrong.

Thanks a bunch!
