rc.conf seems to be ignored on boot...

Hi,

I'm not sure that the best place to post my problem...

I got a really simple problem which seems to be sum up as: "rc.conf is ignored"!
I must say that my archlinux is a virtualmachine in a kvm on a debian. I used luks to encrypted my slash but no lvm.
After a reboot, the archlinux started fine but on the login screen i got "(none)" instead of my hostname.
I logged in, fine, but then I discovered that no services and network were set!
I just don't understand where I failed. I just reboot the server.
Moreover there is nothing in the log regarding my reboot. It seems the time has stop for everylog but boot.
Here is the last boot:

Hi,

Thanks for your answer but I have remove this file and reboot and it's the same problem. I will try to force the re-installation of initscripts but I have no hope :'(

Well force to reinstall didn't work, BUT, deinstall + reinstall + reconfigure of rc.conf seems to works!

Thanks
