[Solved] kernel error after ugprade kernel26-2.6.28.7-2 on amd64

I use reiserfs.
Today, I do pacman -Syu, and reboot, then can not boot again.  I'm use ubuntu now.

The kerneal stopped on listing some reiserfs error and assembly stack information.

How could I let my archlinux bootable again?
I don't know how to back kernel26-2.6.28.7-1.

By  the way, why not arhclinux reserved at least one version of kernel as ubuntu does?
I found I can not boot, and very sad.  Even I think I already a expert on unix/linux.

[Solved] by boot from usb, and ref: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics to mount and chroot.
Then
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.28.7-1

To downgrade a package, just follow the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages
Also, the pacman log (/var/log/pacman.log) contains the trace of all pacman changes.

Arch is a rolling release distro providing the latest updates together with its dependencies. No multi-versioning of packages (even for kernel).

The message is:
::Mounting Local Filesystems
---------[ cut here]-------------
kernel BUG at fs/reiserfs/journal.c:3216!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
... too much, I can't type it all

/etc/rc.sysinit: line 281: 1708 Segmentation fault /bin/mount -n -o remount,rw /
/bin/rm: cannot remove '/etc/mtab': Read-only file system.

I use ubuntu successful to mount the resierfs partition on the ArchLinux' root.
And it seems work on previous kernel.
So, I'll try to use the wiki information to restore my workable kernel.
