Details

I've an issue each time I try to Archlinux on my computer. Once I installed it and did the post-installation (install gnome and gdm) of course I've already modified the conf files following the Debutant Guidelines.

When I reboot the computer GRUB appears I choose ArchLinux and then it doesn't boot correctly, it boots on a roofs console, where I can't type anything. I tried to access archlinux via a LiveCD but it's impossible to see what's broken. I can't even report the issue with the tool.

At least if you need more details, just precise the files needed I'll try to access it and attach the files here.

I just remember when I did pacman -Syu that there was a dependencies issue. The package kmod should be replaced by a new package I forgot the name.
This task depends upon

Do you use grub2? Do you have the error message: "[…]file not found" or something like this
If yes you just need to run grub-install /dev/{your disk}. Afterwards you will see a reorganized grub.

You don't need a live cd to boot. You can also press enter.

I tried either grub and grub2 I tried many times grub-install /dev/{disk} it seems to work, find stage1 but when I reboot it doesn't work at all
It stays on a minimal grub-shell and I can't do anything to get back on Arch Linux.
