Booting problem after update

I have just upgraded my arch for the new kernel, It was massive update around 1GB.
It includes the new kernel  2.6.33.4
After I reboot the system, it could not reboot
I got this message:

resume: libgcrypt version: 1.4.1
resume: could not stat the resume device file /dev/sda6
Please type in the full path name to try again
or press Enter to boot the system:

I tired to do chroot and mkinitcpio, but non of them works.
I could not sort it out now for three days, I have a lot of job to be done, but I could not do anything with my laptop.
Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Booting problem after update

I've ggogled that it may be due to uswsusp - as you said it's a notebook, it's worth a try.

Can you boot to the root console / single?

> How I can check that?
When grub loads, press 'e' to edit the kernel line and append 's' to it.

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/bf1d191b-0f0d-4961-bd67-4d023a2e5873 ro

will change into

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/bf1d191b-0f0d-4961-bd67-4d023a2e5873 ro s

You'll be dropped into recovery console, where you can remove / reinstall the offending package (among other things).

Re: Booting problem after update

Can you fix fstab, update the system, look for .pacnew / .pacsave files?
