[Solved]my netbook got stuck in rootfs after update (EEE PC 1005HA)

Hi guys!!

So, yesterday i've updated the system. everything goes normal. today, when i turned it on, it got stuck in rootfs. i don't know what happened, if that behaviour is my fault or my system got crazy... i've searched about this problem but i found nothing. hope you can understand that is happening here.

here i have a "screenshot", showing what's happening

thank you.

ps. sorry for my bad english.

Some mod will eventually edit your post for big picture size so you may want to fix that first. 

If you search the forum for "rootfs" or something similar you'll find your answers fairly quickly.

In the most recent update, did you have a kernel update?

If so pacman triggered mkinitcpio to rebuild your initramfs.  If anything went wrong at that state (this can happen) this would be the expected result.

If you haven't done anything beyond a normal update then rebuild your initramfs and you should be set.

Other things that may have been done to cause this is modifications to your bootloader (eg grub's menu.lst) or perhaps changes to fstab.
