[Solved]System freeze after reboot after upgrade

Question

Hi,
At first I encountered the problem that "loading udev uevents" took forever, so I loaded a live cd and upgraded everything. Since then, my computer does boot and doesn't hang at loading udev uevents, but it now freezes when it shows a login field after booting. The keyboard doesn't do anything, and the screen just keeps frozen like a popsicle. I wanted to downgrade my nvidia and kernel version, but when I try to downgrade my nvidia version it states that My kernel version is too high, and when I try to downgrade that, My nvidia version is too high, seemed like an impossible loop to me.
Ow, and between booting I can see a lot of errors starting daemons and mounting the systems as well, but as I can't boot it's quiet hard to look them up (if I knew where to look, but I don't because I'm kind of a newbie) and post them here.
I've been thinking about installing arch all over again, but it seems to mee that I then have to lose all the installed programs, daemons and configurations which took me over weeks to create and make work, so any other option would be very helpfull.

Answer 1

rc.conf :
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs @crond hal slim fam cups @sshd @mpd @alsa @samba mysqld httpd @transmissiond @xinetd)
I use an nvidia card, I boot to x using slim
I currently can boot again normally, loging and use the command prompt (thank god), also the daemons are all running, except for slim. When I start slim in the terminal I get the error:
slim: Stale lockfile found, removing it
Somehow I managed to fix this by removing and reïnstalling the kernel, but slim isn't running yet.
