I renew kernel after can not start up

I install is kernel26-scsi-2.6.3 originally, usage pacman-Syu renews go kernel26-scsi-2.6.4 after, can not start up.

Because I use is
Western Digital WD1200JD
WD1200JD, 120GB, 7200rpm, 3.5 Cun, SATA/150, 8MB

So install time I choose to use kernel26-scsi-2.6.3, and GRUB boot loader to starts up my ARCH LINUX.

On the other hand, my hardware compass draw be widnows xp and arch linux coexist in a hardware on, following

part1 ->  windows xp
part2 ->  swap
part3 -> Extension sector
part4 ->  /   to arch linux(reiserfs)
part5 -> Logical sector

So, I does not know be renewwing kernel after, still must proceed those amend action, just can normal startup .

**I English is not good, above description inferior to whether can understand.

Re: I renew kernel after can not start up

I would not expect any change to grub.conf to be necessary.  You did not change it at all between kernel 2.6.3 and 2.6.4?

I would suggest you post a copy of your grub.conf, and also set out exactly what error message grub is giving you

Re: I renew kernel after can not start up

Renew time I do not see any error messages, choose to come into arch linux after at GRUB boot loader, do not see error messages too, but screen shows at

Booting 'Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinu26]
root (hd0,3)
Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part4 ro
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x31d40c]
Uncompressing Linux... ok,  booting the kernel

After have no any reaction, and keyboard can not effect too.

grub.conf waits for me install behind paste come up again heavily, however, if this problem do not settle word, after I have not method renew newest pkg

Re: I renew kernel after can not start up

Could you try to explain the last sentence; I do not quite understand what you are saying here.

I suggested you post your grub.conf; sorry my mistake, you probably have menu.lst instead.  Could you post the contents of that? (/boot/grub/menu.lst)

After the boot process appears to stop, is there any continuing hard drive activity  - can you hear it or see the light flickering?

Re: I renew kernel after can not start up

Looks OK.  I wonder if the problem is connected with the use of a SATA drive.  I am not familiar with the setup for these.  Did you have to make any changes with the 2.6.3 kernel to get the SATA drive to work?

You could also try disabling acpi:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part4 acpi=off ro

Re: I renew kernel after can not start up

1. i no changes any STAT dirver

2. use acpi=off, Still won't work

i try arch_base_0.6.iso
cp isolinux/vmlinuz_scsi  /boot/vmlinuz26
just can boot, but uname -a is 2.6.3.
So, I supposition problem comes out at this  vmlinux26(2.6.4)
