So I've got Arch installed on my mom's computer. Apparently she did an update and now this: http://imgur.com/AQBZLQV
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'PARTUUID<stuff>'
It drops to a shell, but the shell doesn't work. Possibly because it's a USB keyboard? The keyboard works in the BIOS just fine, but when it hits that screen - nada.
Of course, she's not *that* savvy, so I don't think she paid any attention to what exactly was updating. So far the only information I've got from her is that she updated, restarted, and death.
I'm assuming it'd be possible to get back in there and rescue it with a disk - maybe grub got pooched? I actually had similar problems when I initially set up the machine and forgot some steps...

I suggest you fire up a chroot environment to allow you to get into your Arch installation and fix it.
