Arch follows rolling release. To update or not is your choice. If you are worried wait and see the forum for any problem and solution. (I did a full upgrade in Del mini 9, I got a problem with Broadcom wirless, and also solution in aur). Some where in this forum says "new release means old bugs fixed and new bugs surfing"

I never had any issues with kernel upgrades. That said, you can always rollback to an older kernel if things don't work out.

Look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages
If package is removed from cache use http://schlunix.org/archlinux/ to find older packages.

Well techically I guess you could, as you could boot into the LiveCD and then chroot into your system to fix it.

Just FTR, Dan (Toofishes), an Arch developer, runs an eeepc repo with a custom .30-eee kernel (not sure about the model). you may want to look into that.

If ya did it once, you can likely do it again.

i know that its not the same to make changes to your partitions and bring back a damaged unbootable enviroment but youre right! ill think about it a bit more and then ill upgrade my kernel

It is pretty simple to perform a chroot:
1) Put in the Arch live cd
2) Boot
3) mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/ (where X is the letter of the hard disk and Y the number of the partition: i.e. sda1)
3) mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
4) mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
5) mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
6) chroot /mnt/
Then you can proceed at installing the old kernel by running
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/OLD_KERNEL_NAME.pkg.tar.gz

After chrooting I was always told to run a :
env-update && source /etc/profile
Is that not needed in Arch?

@lifeafter2am: Mm, now that I think about it, I remember something like that from my Gentoo days, but I've never ran those commands in Arch and everything worked.
P.S. Btw, I forgot
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys

Did you rename all the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ so that they end in ".conf" ?

only one file and the extension is conf
