[SOLVED] Upgrade pacman -Syu on 11/30/11 broke system
After issuing upgrade command, I am unable to boot into system at all.
I get:
Error: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device.
Installation is on 16GB flash-drive with separate boot partition.
I have been upgrading system for months with no problems.
Please advise.
Thanks

Are you able to chroot into your system using a live cd ?
I think this isn't a pacman-issue, but a hdd issue...

You're not alone...
Add 'quiet' to your kernel boot line

Thanks to everyone who contributed responses to my request so speedily.
It seems that adding "quiet" to my kernel line in menu.lst has resolved the issue.
I have since done another "pacman -Syu" and am having no problems rebooting.
Thanks
