Re: cant boot after upgrade with conflicts

For an explanation about those conflicting file errors (and how to fix them), take a look here.

As for the "unable to find root device" error, you probably borked something by running "pacman -Syuf" (never use the -f flag for a generic update). Take a look here at how to fix that.

Then you should mark it as solved (by editing the first post) so that other people (including yourself sometimes) find it useful.
