Fatal errors after running Pacman update

Hi all,

I'm completely new to ArchLinux but I really like the light and swift nature of it. After a clean install of ArchLinux 0.8 I tried to upgrade the system using 'pacman -Syu'. After a reboot I now get a couple of errors and the system denies to boot any further. Took a screenshot of the errors:

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Regards,

Dan

EDIT: Fortunately I made a list of all packages on the system before I upgraded. I made a new list in fall back mode and compared them. These are the changed packages:

acl 2.2.39-1->acl 2.2.39-3
attr 2.4.32-2->attr 2.4.32-3
dhcpcd 1.3.22pl4-4->dhcpcd 3.0.17-1

less 394-1->less 394-2

man-pages 2.43-1->man-pages 2.44-1

Re: Fatal errors after running Pacman update

you have to rerun lilo after updating kernel ... you will need to chroot in and fix it [ie run lilo!]
