Kernel 2.6.27 Boot Failure

After letting Pacman upgrade my system to 2.6.27 the new kernel fails to boot. What I get is a bunch of trace information and then the system locks up. Downgrading to 2.6.26.5 still works just fine.

I did some testing with various boot kernel options and the only one that will let the system boot is noapic. The problem with this is Loading Udev events takes a really long time and my network card fails to work. It loads the correct drivers, 8139too, even id's the card correctly as a 8139D chipset. But the network fails to work, ifconfig and route show everything setup but everything is unreachable.
dmesg also shows alot of ata2 timeouts. There is also one trace dump in dmesg
