Should I be worried about this?

Just went through an upgrade, everything was fine, except this little snippet:

Re: Should I be worried about this?

Yes.  You will not have a proper initramfs and you will not be able to reboot.  I don't know why it's looking int /lib/modules rather than /usr/lib/modules - I suspect you had problems with the glibc update that you left unresolved.

EDIT: the best case scenario is if you haven't ignored any packages such as glibc, and the rest of the update really did go fine, perhaps the glibc update came at the same time with this large and overdue update.  If this is the case (which I frankly doubt) then you might be able to fix this as simple as the following:

# mkinitcpio -p linux
