Re: weird kernel update issues
The problem here is that archboot has not been updated to account for the provisions of the new kernel. The way to update the kernel here is to either remove archboot, or use "pacman -Sf kernel26". You should also check that the archboot problem has a bug report...

Re: weird kernel update issues
You don't need to be a linux expert, just a basic pacman user.
It's just saying that the archboot package is broken, so kill it and that's all.

Re: weird kernel update issues
Just checking the description in pacman -Si archboot would give you a better idea about what it is for...
And by the way, it's in extra.

Re: weird kernel update issues
Care to share how you got your console looking like that? It looks really good.
