Some of the steps described herehttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reinstalling_GRUBmight help you to set your chroot enviroment. On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 3:24 AM, Anton Achatz wrote:

yes, my /boot is on a separate partition (sda2)

pacman didn't spit out any problems or errors

so i will try to do what you suggest. to boot from an external medium should be no problem. the next steps i have to 'google'. My /boot partition is sda6 and my /root is on sda6 so i have to

chroot /dev/sda6

and then

mkinitcpio ???

I will see (hope so).

Thank you very much.

Hello,

i have a problem after updating to kernel 2.6.27 or 2.6.28. After updating the kernel i am not able to boot the system. The system doesn' t recognize the boot harddisk sda6. the recommendation to set bootdelay = 8 doesnt help. Does someone know what to do.

greetings Toni

is you /boot on a separate partition by an chance?

did pacman spit out any errors during the upgrade? particularly

at a guess, your initcpio didn't get rebuilt, or got rebuilt improperly. try booting from an external medium, chroot into your system, and mkinitcpio.
