Re: System half destroyed after failed update
Just give it a reboot and see if it boots.

Re: System half destroyed after failed update
Okay. Go back in with a livecd and reinstall your kernel. Read up on chroot:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot
That page should explain to you on mounting proc, etc..etc..
