Linux-api-headers broke everything?

I'm not exactly sure what happened but during a full system upgrade everything stopped working and all commands yielded "can not execute". Pacman.log shows that the last thing it did, infact the only thing it did during that upgrade was install linux-api-headers. Rebooting only provided a kernel panic as "failed to execute /sbin/init: No such file or directory". Any help is gladly appreciated.

Definitely not linux-api-hearers causing the issue...   Try reinstall glibc from a rescue CD.

Re: Linux-api-headers broke everything?

On that note I am unable to chroot into the installation as it gives me the same file not found.error for bash.

EDIT: I mounted my filesystem, unpacked the latest glibc package and moved every file into it's proper place, and now it works.
