I just installed the archCK kernel that was with the ati-drivers pacage. I thought i did everything right, but when i boot from the new kernel all i get is a kernel panic.....what should i try troubleshooting first? Here is a look at my menu.lst:
# general configuration:
timeout 5
default 0
splashimage /boot/grub/tux.xpm.gz

for archck it's vmlinuz26archck and not vmlinuz26, and it's video= not vga = for options

for the archck kernel, change 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz26' to 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz26archck'
you forgot to change it, so it's loading the regular kernel with an initramfs image, which it doesn't recognize.

Sorry, we cant help unless you give us some form of error message.
Kernels can panic for countless reasons.

On Arch, very little happens "on its own".
