On Arch you of course always have the 'fallback' boot option (which can be expected to work), or you can boot from the original netinstall CD. But it's by no means clear to me how you could 'rewind' a failed kernel update using either of these.
This is why you don't immediately clean out your /var/cache/pacman/pkg directory. In case of some catastrophic failure (like a kernel upgrade), you still have your previous kernel package tucked away for re-installation.
Alternatively use the core CD and install the kernel package from there. Greetings, Heiko
