I ran into a problem with vmware after a kernel upgrade so I deceided to downgrade the kernel.
I did pacman -Rd kernel26 && pacman -Rd kernel-headers
then
pacman -A /var/cache/pacman/pkg/{OLDER_KERNEL}
pacman -A /var/cache/pacman/pkg/{OLDER_KERNEL_HEADERS}
After those changes I get a kernel panic when I reboot. The start of problem booting begins with:
"Failed to parse block device name for "/dev/sda1""
Figuring I did something wrong I booted with the livecd and chrooted to the root drive and did a pacman -Su that upgraded the kernel and headers back to the current versions.
I still get the same errors and a kernel panic when re-booting.
My menu.lst has not changed from when I was able to boot. I am at a loss for what is causing the problems. Any ideas?

ok changed menu.lst to:
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
And I was able to boot; although I still am not sure why the original kernel26.img does not work.

The Problem had been fixed.

I have the same problem since some recent updates : Arch will boot using
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
but no longer with
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Can you please tell me what you did to fix your problem ? Thanks a lot !
