Guys, thanks for the input. I was able to get it fixed. The issue at hand was that some how grub got completely confused. The state1 file in my /boot/grub was missing for some unknown reason. Using the install CD I was able to coerce GRUB into reinstalling itself on the hard drive. This fixed all of my problems thankfully.

Hi,

Here it is guys ;)

How long since you last run pacman -Syu ?

  - If it's been a looong time (last year), then you need to give initrd a
closer look.
Please have a look at :
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Initrd

  - If it was shorter (a few days or weeks) , you might have upgraded to
kernel
2.6.15.archck2-2 (which we're not meant to use, as it's broken). In this
case you need
to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst, or its lilo equivalent accordingly

And this Howto might be usefull in any of those cases :
