Failed to open system journal: Invalid argument

What does this mean and how does this affect the system? It is displayed during bootup.

Here is the dmesg:

Re: Failed to open system journal: Invalid argument

Is this Arch Linux? Your Kernel is kind of old isn't it? Arch doesn't support partial upgrades, so is there a reason the system is not up-to-date?

Also, have you searched for the cause in the Wiki?, Google? The forums? What did you find?

Since it's your first post, I don't know if you've seen:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … troduction
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … pport_ONLY
