For all of you still with this problem (and JFS filesystem), read the bugreport (brain0 und my last posts at the end) for the solution.

Same here: "Decompressing Linux" and then reboot itself after update 2.6.30 to 2.6.30.1. I use JFS file system
I seem to have Solved it for me,
1st using parted magic I did a disc check tried to reboot the same then used parted magic opened the boot file made a new folder copy paste system map, vmlinux files into the folder, then copy paste back to boot file using overwrite option reboot everything Ok. I done this on both i686 and x86_64 partitions they both now boot into the system.

Thank you for the solution!
Fixed by dual booting into Debian with kernel 2.6.21, chroot back to Arch and resync the kernel26 package.

Hi,

I tried the solution in the bug tracker but received the error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
In some cases useful infor is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so

Am I just making a dumbass newbie mistake or is something more serious going on here?

Thanks

Update - just tried running a fsck.jfs on the drive since I read a jfs partition can't be mounted until it's journal log is checked. I received the error

Error: Cannot open device /dev/sda1

I suffered from the same and I managed to bring my system back to life again with the install-cd. After that I blocked the kernel-upgrades in pacman.conf....
But for how long?
Does anyone know if the problem is solved and can the newest kernels boot from my JFS partition again?
