Didn't actually see that you don't accept bug reports for rc. Closing.

There is a patch available, see here: #712 (comment)

I have pushed the fix already in the archlinux repository in "extra-testing".

I saw in another issue, thank you so much. I'll wait for it to reach the stable repo.

I confirm that the patch works, I downloaded the relevant files from the Arch Linux archive and installed them using pacman -U ..., effectively replacing the right packages. Thank you for the fix.

@SheMelody I think the way to interpret our stance on rc related issues is feel free to open them but come in with the expectation that our releases may not be ready to handle rc kernels.
