I booted up the CD, ran arch root=/dev/hda1 noinitrd ro, logged in, and downgraded my kernel26 through that (specifically, I ran pacman -U kernel26-*.pkg.tar.gz). Now all is well.
How sweet is that?
]]>boot with archlinux fallback
log as root, then try to make :
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img
then try to boot with the standard boot entry
Hello,
the kernel, fallback or not, won't work. It still shoots out the init not found error.
I tried downgrading the kernel to 2.6.18.4 through chroot and my Beatrix Live CD, but it gives errors about there being no permissions to /dev/null, and exits. So, in other words, I'm screwed.
Can anyone help me?
]]>how can I make that permanent?
Add it to /etc/rc.local.

]]>okay. thanks.
in another "screen" I tried to ping archlinux.org but it keeps going on, and going and .... does my computer need a shrink or is that normal?
Just a standard "ping www.google.com" command will continue indefinitely. Press Ctrl+C to force ping to close. Or run "ping -c 4 www.google.com" (change the 4 to however many you want).

is that "zero" or the letter O?

"setterm -blank 0" will do it for you
