So, I have a weird problem. I have a proliant server (just a little personal one, so I run arch on it) with two Intel 82574L ethernet adapters. It worked flawlessly when arch was first installed on it, but now the ethernet doesn't come up at all. Nothing in ip link, no e1000e install, modprobeing it does nothing. It shows up in lspci, with no driver in use. No errors in dmesg as far as I can tell. All packages are up to date a couple of days ago. I have dhcpcd running on all interfaces through a systemd unit file. Not that this makes a difference when there are no interfaces.
The network works fine if I boot from an arch ISO. Unfortunately this takes ages as I have to mount it locally and accesses to my computer from my server are ridiculously slow for some reason... I have 50mbit upload. So I'd rather not do that unless I have a very good reason.
So, as the server has no internet, my only access is an IPMI virtual console, so I can't copypaste. This makes it very difficult to get anything more than a single screen of text out. Nevertheless, here are some screenshots of command output:

I've read the entirety of dmesg, and there isn't a single reference to networking, ethernet, e1000e.
Some references to intel, which I think are due to chipset or similar?:

Perhaps I could get text out by using floppy images? Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: All fixed. Turns out I didn't have my /boot partition mounted, so all kernel updates were happening on /dev/sda2, and system was booting from /dev/sda1. Mounting /dev/sda1 on /boot, and then reinstalling linux from the package cache fixed this. Also added /boot to fstab to prevent this happening again. Thanks to sudokode and john_f on irc for their help!
