[Solved]Dell XPS13 ultrabook Xorg and Wifi issues after Kernel upgrade

I installed Arch on a Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook today, and most everything ran fine after I ran the initial upgrade -- but I held back on the kernel update from 3.1.3 to 3.3.7.

I just now updated the kernel, and now I can't start X, nor can I access the wireless card. For X, I get a "Fatal server error: no screens found" error, and I can no longer find wlan0 with iwconfig, although I can still see it with lspci.

I even tried downgrading the kernel to 3.1.9, but I'm still having identical issues.

What can I do to fix this, short of starting again from scratch?

Edit: Solved by copying all the files in the boot folder on my root partition (sda3) to my real boot partition (sda1).
