freeze on boot

As Arch boots up, it hangs right after it identifies the runlevel.  I am using the latest beyond kernel.  Here is my inittab:

#
# /etc/inittab
#

#  Runlevels:
#    0    Halt
#    1(S)    Single-user
#    2    Not used
#    3    Multi-user
#    4    Not used
#    5    X11
#    6    Reboot

id:3:initdefault:

rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single
rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi
rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown
su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p

c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/6 linux

ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

x:5:respawn:/etc/rc.d/gdm start

# End of file

thanks.

Re: freeze on boot

yours same with mine,

Highly doubt about kernel panic.


I removed my sig, cause i select the flag, the flag often the target of enemy.

Re: freeze on boot

Try posting your dmesg, rosh.

Re: freeze on boot

Since I can't actually boot into Arch, I need to post the contents of what dmesg would put out.  I just want to confirm that dmesg produces the contents of /var/log/messages.

Re: freeze on boot

I forgot to mention that this freezing happened after I tried to install a package from pacman (gnome network manager applet) and it just locked up.   

I booted a live cd, chrooted (after mounting proc and dev from the livecd), and did a pacman -Syu.  I switched to another window, so I don't know where I was during the pacman, and then I froze up ... in the livecd!

This is really strange, should I just reinstall Arch or something, where can I found out what is happening?
