There was only one package; after I remove it I can to reinstall the
filesystem package.

After that I run again
mkinitcpio -p linux

then exit from arch-chroot and reboot the machine.
Success!

I cn now login and start X Window, but say I can't run firefox.
When started firefox I get error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory.

Thank you all for help.

Have one advices just for the firefox problem because I think this is
related with my kernel-panic problem?
