I was at school and decided to do a full system upgrade since some packages were not building properly, which was most likely a terrible idea due to the fact that the wireless there is very unreliable. After that, I ended up with a borked init, I think.
The result is the same from the regular kernel and fall back.
/init : line 60: syntax error " unexpected "fi"
[ 2.741453] Kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init!
[ 2.741515] Pid : 1, comm init Not tainted 3.0-ARCH #1
Anyone feel they can lend a hand?
What I have tried so far
__________________________
Booting using Arch live environment, mounting / and /boot and chroot into / to use mkinitcpio -p 3.0
got an error, something about no presets available.
then I tried the same command using -g and it worked, but with alot of errors, and ultimately, the same result.
Thanks in advance

So I revisited the kernel panic wiki, and unless im completely missing something, there arent instructions on how to reinstall the kernel from the live cd.
I successfully loaded up the live cd, mounted all my partitions (correctly) this time and chrooted into my / partition. I was able to successfully create the mkinit image (whereas before I got a slew of errors) mostly due to sys not being mounted. Ive learned quite a bit, but have no previous kernel to roll back to and would like to reinstall the kernel from the live cd, any one know how to do this?

Not sure what you mean here, why can't you use 'pacman -U packagename' or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … FDVD.2Fiso ?

Yeah just chroot into your partition from the live cd and run:
pacman -Sy linuxpacman -Sy linux-headersAm I right?
Just trying to help. Let us know what happens and good luck.
