Hello,
As of yesterday I cannot boot, regardless of whether I choose the
regular or failback kernel from the boot loader.
I haven't been able to find anything on google, so I was hoping
someone here might know what's going on.
Last time my system was up I installed updates including the latest
kernel, and I ran e4defrag over the disk.
The computer is a ThinkPad T60, with a Core 2 Duo and 2GB of Ram. I am
running the i686 version of Arch Linux.
My boot loader is syslinux.
In the mean time I'm downloading a new copy of the Arch Install ISO
(all my existing recovery disks are too old to chroot from), and I
will try reinstalling the kernel.
Output:
Loading ../vmlinuz-linux... ok
Loading ../initramfs-linux.img...ok
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok

Alright, I did a couple things at once because I was tired of rebooting
so I'm not sure which actually fixed it, but it's working now.
I ran the rescue disk in normal mode and did a chroot instead of trying
to boot into my system.
I deleted the linux kernel from /var/cache/pacman, and installed it over
again
I ran syslinux-update_install -u -m
