Ugrade problem Please help

I upgraded Arch by typing the command:
pacman -Syfu
All packages were downloaded and the upgrade began. However, in the middle of the upgrade, the gnome desktop froze and became non responsive. so I killed the X server and hit Alt+Ctrl+F1 to do the upgrade in the virtual console. But when I typed the upgrade command, it said the local database is up to date and exited. The system now fails to boot due to a kernel panic.Please help me as it took me 15 hours to download all the packages!

Re: Ugrade problem Please help

The -f is where you messed up.

Boot the install CD, chroot into the installation and try to save (or fix) what's left of it.
