Hello,
I have a problem. When I boot, the system seems to freeze/hang early during the boot process. The last few lines I see are
cpuidle: using governor ladder
cpuidle: using governor menu
TCP cubic registered
NET: Registered protocol family 17
Registering the dns_resolver key type
Using IPI No-Shortcut mode
registered taskstats version 1
rtc_cmos 00:04: setting system clock to 2010-12-21 21:07:25 UTC (1292965645)
Initializing network drop monitor service
I also tried to use the fallback kernel, with no success. It is hard to troubleshoot this problem. The system is not responding at all at this stage.
I can boot using an Ubuntu livecd, but I can't see my arch linux partitions because they are in LVM. My wired ethernet network card works normally in Ubuntu. I also tried unplugging the ethernet cable with no success.

I bump because I still have the same problem most times.
I have logged in the system and updated with pacman -Suy, so it has a fresh kernel.
Do you have any ideas? Is it a kernel issue? Perhaps hardware? Though as I said I can always boot with a liveCD, SystemRescueCD and Ubuntu.
Perhaps someone can explain what is the "network drop monitor service". And if there are any kernel options I can pass at boot time to try to disable it. Or whether the kernel has any error logs somewhere that would describe the error in more detail.

Which bootloader do you use? If it is grub2 1.98, upgrade to 1.99~rc1 and try again. It solves many initramfs problems and yours seems to be similar to those problems.
