[Solved]Arch will not boot after upgrading

I upgraded a couple of hours ago, and now arch won't boot, but spout out these errors.

process '-/bin/sh' (pid 1) exited. Scheduling for restart.
init: can't log to /dev/tty5
process '-/bin/sh' (pid 2) exited. Scheduling for restart.
init: can't log to /dev/tty5
process '-/bin/sh' (pid 3) exited. Scheduling for restart.
init: can't log to /dev/tty5
can't open /dev/tty2: No such file or directory
init: can't log to /dev/tty5
can't open /dev/tty3: No such file or directory
init: can't log to /dev/tty5
can't open /dev/tty4: No such file or directory
init: can't log to /dev/tty5

it repeats endlessly, except the pid keeps rising. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'll provide any information, I just don't know what to provide

You are not still using initscripts, are you?

I upgraded to systemd a while ago, and it's been working perfectly fine since then. It's possible I didn't remove some hook or something like that (I don't think that happened but it seems it may have from this problem), but I don't know how to find out or how to fix it

Solved, turns out mkinitcpio was interrupted while making an image. I used a live cd to redo the upgrade and now it's working fine.
