root partition problem after updating kernel

This is the second time this has happened...

After I upgraded the kernel and restarted my box, the root partition couldn't be found.
Also, during the kernel update, I got a bunch of errors mentioning init something. does anybody know where can I see them because I can't find them in pacman.log

I fixed it by logging into my machine from the installation cd and running mkinitcpio.

I figure the problem occurs because I use AHCI, and something doesn't get build during the upgrade proccess.
I added AHCI in mkinitcpio.conf.

The next time this happens I'll try to save the errors I get...

Re: root partition problem after updating kernel

ok, here is the message I get when updating the kernel:

sort: sort.c:1295: inittables_mb: Assertion `mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2' failed.

after the restart, the kernel panicked because it couldn't find init.

my MODULES line in mkinitcpio.conf look like this:

MODULES="ahci sd_mod sr_mod sg"

again, I fixed it by booting off the install cd, chrooting to my root partition and running mkinitcpio - p kernel26

can anybody help me?
