When did you install Arch? have you run pacman update before this problem occurred?
It sounds like the HDD rootfs has been corrupted in a way that the kernel file could not be loaded.
1. Take the current HDD to another Linux box (using USB adapter), and run fsck to check for file system error. And remember to do a "sync" before unplugging the HDD. If there are file system errors, it would be fixed by fsck during this, so try to boot again with the HDD. If there is no fs error, then some kernel files must have been missing.
2. If 1 does not work. Use a new USB stick, redownload Arch rootfs (following the Arch GFH installation page), and create a new rootfs. Boot with this USB rootfs.
3. If all failed, try Debian rootfs on USB:
