Upgraded system with pacman -Syu and installed only one package...qt
Unable to boot after that package installed.
Perhaps there is more required than just ...qt
If so, those packages did not appear in the download menu.
Thus, I assume I need to change mirrors and re-perform ..pacman-Syu.....
Will report the result..........
The filesystem ID is supposed to be ext3 but dmesg | tail reports fail for ext4! Weird!
EDIT: Unable to mount the partition and it is not recognized in blkid so I cannot access the system to repair it
sh-4.2# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/md
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
sh-4.2# dmesg | tail

sh-4.2# EDIT: Performed pacman -Syu on main HDD and received new linux kernel packages along with qt. Rebooted that after install with no problem.
I conclude that the download to my CF card system was erroneous in that the linux packages were not included. Therefore, I have no idea how I can determine that a given download from a mirror is not complete since I trust pacman to be properly setup to upgrade all necessary packages upon the use of pacman -Syu. Since only one package was included, I assumed that was all to be involved.....wrong!
Any way to fix ? Cannot ID the drive for mounting. What can I do at rootfs prompt without any ID?
Can I setup a new blkid? How to ID the partition? I have a label on it....
EDIT: Corrected the problem by running e2fsck on the partition from my HDD arch boot-up.
Chrooted into the CF card system and finished the upgrade to the latest kernel.
This is the first time that pacman did not perform a complete upgrade on my machine.
