Re: system upgrade and problems with boot root partition

Did the upgrade go through correctly or did you have any errors during upgrade? If so, what were those errors?

Have you tried reboot or exit as the information there mentions?

Re: system upgrade and problems with boot root partition

Well I run pacman with -Sfdu because I have errors with exist tango-icon-theme .svg files...

I tried reboot many times, I've add rootdelay option with no luck.
this is my grub:

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 rw
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

Using the -f switch with pacman is a very bad idea and especially when you upgrade after a long time.

Re: system upgrade and problems with boot root partition

Try booting with the fallback img and then run mkinitcpio to re-generate your kernel. Hopefully that should solve your problem.

Re: system upgrade and problems with boot root partition

Combining -Sd with -Su is practically operating system murder. I can't even begin to understand which components are missing and which ones are incompatible now. All I can see from this screenshot is that you have outdated versions of every single package related to initramfs, it is rather impossible to get this to boot as it is now.
