I understand that it might be too late for this case. I had a similar
failure a couple of days ago; after a (too long delayed) system update, my
system hung on boot.
The fix was relatively easy; boot a rescue system and rebuild the initramfs.
In hindsight i could have prevented the problem by taking care of the
warnings pacman reported. The entire problem was caused by me rebooting too
quickly.

So here's a friendly suggestion to check pacman's logs after each upgrade.
Most of the time it'll fine, but especially when it's been a while, it's
important to check it.

Hope that helps.

Mvg, Guus
