Kernel 2.6.12.2-1 fails to boot

Re-installed arch 0.7 with installCD.

Performed pacman -Syu.....installed 71MB including kernel26-2.6.12.2-1.pkg.tar.gz with initscripts, hotplug,and udev.

Changed fstab for udev nomenclature, modified lilo with Udev boot append and hdx nomenclature.  Ran lilo successfully. Rebooted (shpchp showed up). At root prompt performed /etc/hotplug/blacklist and edited shpchp into blacklist.

Rebooted and failed boot following Udev step with :  failed to find /dev/hda3.

Since it can't find /dev/hda3 in Udev, and devfs is perhaps still default, it can't use /dev/hda3 for ID.  Limbo land....!

Please advise the error of my ways!

There are only three items in hda3 /dev folder!

Re: Kernel 2.6.12.2-1 fails to boot

The title of this thread is a misnomer - the kernel boots fine, but it looks like your configuration of the devices is off.  Did you run migrate-udev?
