According to your log, you're still running 3.6.2 when X failed to run. I'd say you need to make sure your /boot partition is mounted when you're doing kernel upgrades.

My /boot mount is in my fstab... How could it not be mounted, and how could I know that it wasn't??
And in this case, why did the downgrade solve the problem? Or are they 2 different problems?

The install scriptlet for linux will yell at you:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/linux.install?h=packages/linux#n50

And the fact that your log says you're still booting off the old kernel is a pretty good sign, too.

I've no idea _why_ it wasn't mounted, but this isn't a packaging bug.
