Guys,

	I just attempted an update which installed kernel26 2.6.32.10-1 on my x86_64
box. After the update, the box failed to boot and the boot process stopped at
the initrd/initramfs. (I have the slash because I can't remember the exact
init----) But it was very early in the boot process. I have checked logs and
nothing for this boot attempt was written to the logs. I suspect it was too
early in the boot process for logging to be enabled.

	I have never tried to recover from a failed arch boot before. What's the proper
way. Boot with the install cd and chroot your install and either downgrade to
the last kernel or try mkinitcpio again?




I think initrd and initramfs barely mean the same thing. initrd stands for Initial RAM Disk and initramfs for Initial RAM Filesystem.

If you could give the exact error message, we could get some idea about it.

You can try mkinitcpio. Then if it doesn't work downgrade.
