No internet connection on live usb on corrupted system

I've made an upgrade that was interrupted and after a restart it gave that lib/modules/ modules.devname not found.
So i entered through a live usb to try and fix things, but i can't get the internet to work.
I've entered to my previous system with chroot after mounted my disk and my boot.

The result from ip link is

1: lo : <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
       link.loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00::00:00
1: eth0: <Broadcast,multicast,up,lower_up> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state up mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
       link/ether 20:89:84:dd:e8:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

the state of eth0 is up after executing

ip link eth0 up

before it was down.
ip route show prints nothing.
I tried dhcpcd with no results.

Any help will be appreciated.

dhcpcd outputs
main: control_open: Connection refused
dev loaded udev
no valid interfaces found
no interfaces have a carrier
forked to background, child pid 268

Re: No internet connection on live usb on corrupted system

Just get a connection in the live system, mount your partitions (but do not chroot) and use `pacman -r /mnt  -Syu` to complete the upgrade.
