KDE 4.3 hangs system at start up

Hello. I'm testing Archlinux to see if it will one day replace my Debian installation.

Things were more or less fine during its short sporadic use, until I upgraded the system and KDE 4.3.0-6 was installed. During start up (startx), it hanged.
Today I tried another "pacman -Syu", and saw KDE 4.3.1 was available. It still hangs in the same way and place. The progress bar says that Akonadi is starting up.

Deleting the KDE configuration files at $HOME does nothing. The blinking caps lock and scroll lock make me think its a kernel panic related problem.

Information from the log files does not seem helpful (I'm posting several because I'm not sure where to look):

Xorg.0.log:
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)

kernel.log:

x.org runs fine with other window managers. Does anyone have any idea where I could look next for an explanation?
Thank you.

EDIT: I managed to somehow post this in the wrong forum section, and can't delete it. Would a kind admin please move it to the right section? My apologies.
