Boot issues Uninstalling Catalyst

I incorrectly installed catalyst from aur.
I installed three packages:
catalyst-utils
catalyst
lib32-catalyst-libgl
Then my computer would not boot.
I booted into a live usb I have of the arch install iso, mounted my system, and used pacman -Rdd to remove all three packages.  I then reinstalled xf86-video-ati.
My system will still not boot.  I'm not sure what I should do next.  Please advise.  I love Arch, and hope this will be a learning experience.

I'm using catalyst driver from Violo's unofficial catalyst repo from Catalyst Wiki. installation may seem complicated but when you install works perfectly...

The issue is totally with me.  I installed the packages I mentioned above from aur.  Those three were not the only ones needed to do the installation.  Now my system won't boot, and I just need some help fixing it.

Is there any sort of a boot error?

There are many boot errors.  The system just goes crazy.  I may just have back up home and my pacman database to reinstall.

Well, when you put it like that, it is really hard to help you. Still no clue whatsoever on what is causing the problem.
