Boot-up fails after pacman update

Question

Recent update of many pkgs failed to load after downloading.
The boot stops at :
         Archlinux 0.7 (wombat) [(none)] (vc/1)
         (none) login:
Attempts to login fail (probably because I don't know what should go for login)
The hdd can be addressed from another hdd boot-up and all partitions accessed.
It just won't finish boot. :cry:

Answer 1

As posted previously, a recent upgrade was followed by a failure to load the downloaded packages.  None of these packages were kernel upgrades and lilo run would not be necessary thereafter.
My fstab and rc.conf follow:#

The above files are from the affected HDD.
I note that (none)login:   appears with an ID name in place of (none) in this clone HDD when opting for console login from the kde window options, so that element is missing in the other hard drive.
How to replace (none) with the right ID is the problem solution.
