accidentally installed x86_64 kernel
This was so stupid. Pacman was saying everything was up to date which is was not (have not updated since early June) so I fixed my mirrorlist, well I put my architecture as 86_64 not even thinking so my kernel will not boot now of course since my computer is i686 only. I've tried to chroot into my system and downgrad but I keep getting the unable to chroot 'bin/bash' error.
Any help? I will try to provide whatever info I can. If nothing else I will just reinstall Arch.

Re: accidentally installed x86_64 kernel
Boot up the installer, pacman -Sy, look at the last packages that got installed (/var/log/pacman.log), and re-install them with pacman --root /path/to/your/install -S packages.

Re: accidentally installed x86_64 kernel
And set the Architecture option in pacman.conf to prevent you doing that again.
