Hi,
I accidently fslint-ed my root dir in gnome 2.30 and deleted all the empty folders and temp files.
But now when i try to start arch, at the startup screen it says "cant mount local point /dev/shm and /dev/pts.
And when i finally login in gnome, i have to manually as root mkdir /dev/shm and chmod 777 /dev/shm in order to get
online with chromium. Also i cant use the terminal anymore, when i start a terminal it says "there was an error creating the
child process for this terminal"
Any ideas on how to fix this without doing a fresh install?

Bump!

I'm in over my head here, but I do know that udev creates the /dev entries with their permissions. Since your system is complaining about not being able to mount /dev/shm and /dev/pts, the first place that I would look into is that the udev install was broken somehow...

It's a nice conversation starter.

Re-install everything?
pacman -S $(pacman -Qq)
