So yesterday I upgraded udev and the kernel. Now when I boot arch cant activate swap and when it trys to run a FS check it fails. I read somthing on changing /dev/discs/disc0/part3 to /dev/hda3. How do I do this. I looked at Grub and it is set to /dev/hda3. After the FS check fails it let me into my filesystem but for Read Only. Can anyone help ?

your conversion is correct. Check in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst that they are adjusted.

I used vi to open /etc/fstab and does have the wrong lines for my partitions. But like I said I have read only privs when I get into my FS ( i am root btw )

that may well be because you haven't a matching entry for the root= append parameter to the kernel in fstab. that's why it only mounts you root-fs in ro. see if removing "ro" from the append parameters in menu.lst helps, if so, cat /proc/partitions to find out about your partition layout. then modify menu.lst and/or fstab according to that.
good luck!

You need to remount your / partition with rw permission:
# mount -o rw,remount /

Boot with a live CD and edit your fstab. Reboot as normal, and you should be fine.

which is exactly what rc.sysinit does if there's a matching root-fs in fstab.
