))) про патч бармина я слышал)
понадобилось java изучить, я нашел пакеты в репе, но решил, что прежде чем ставить, лучше сначала обновлюсь))
сейчас форматнул винт в ext4 - подожду месяц.

upd:
я понял про симлинк, что ступил. и поверьте мне, я сделал это. cd /mnt/arch - и погнал. но не получалось никак) видать зря потер диру изначально.
Блин) проще заново систему поставить.
К тому же я успел скопировать разные конфиги самописные.

Лучше подождать месяц, да?
Я не понял просто, что-то добавится в инсталятор?
зря я сделал
 rm -rf /lib
теперь даже из-под liveCD не сделать chroot(
пытаюсь распаковать (чтобы изпод chroot сделать симлинк /lib)
 sudo tar xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.16.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz -C /lib
но почему-то терминал виснет (хз - просто перестает отвечать).

upd:
ах, да, система снова сломалась)) теперь опознает sdc3, потом что-то ругается, пишет kernel panic, hex-коды и останавливается.
Natrio, я проверил что все файлы принадлежат glibc:
grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files
и удалил диру. потом консоль сломалась (перестала понимать команды bash). ну и разумеется перезагрузиться ос не смогла.
систему я поднял.
теперь загрузился нормально, но иксы не поднялись почему-то.
пытаюсь обновиться: glibc пишет что /lib exists - хотя я симлинки создал на /usr/lib & /usr/lib/modules.
так а я посмотрел эти топики - в них описывается ситуация “до” моего случая.
ладно, буду ковырять дальше.
да, не обновлен.
я прочел новость на главной и обновился с игнором glibc.

upd:
как же быть? может из под liveCD можно обновить его и тогда уже перегенерировать img?
я посмотрел схожие ветки на форуме - как-то все сумбурно, и похоже проблема насущная.

если не трудно, ребят, помогите с проблемой - не хотелось бы сносить систему, уже обжил её)
anode был прав - разгадка скрывалась в логе пакмана)
и я подозреваю сгенерировать img не получится пока я что-то не сделаю предварительно с /lib/modules/
(p.s. там кстати было сообщение еще по rc.conf что-то про MODULES и DEMONS - может оно?)

открыл свой mkinitcpio.conf:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect para scsi sata filesystems usbinput fsck"
так что клава не функционирует по другой причине, очевидно)

не понятен пункт 1 - как понять восстановиться из кэша? где эта директория?
и второе - на вики прочел как перегенерировать img:
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
мне писать kernel33 судя по всему?
А вы можете назвать проблему?
))) а то если честно я не совсем понимаю её, и самое главное - не понимаю почему вдруг эта проблема всплыла (а раньше ОС работала нормально).
(после обновления)
к сожалению это не помогло.
дело в том, что я же не менял диск - он как и был третьим (sdc) так им и остался. в проводах я не копошился.
просто сделал reboot в консоли.

как же быть? выручайте!
