Hello everyone, I've been scratching my head over this problem for three days now.
I got a new Dell XPS M1530 and I tried to install Arch64 2007.8 and 2007.11 at least a dozen times with different menu.lst and mkinitcpio configurations, as well as with the -ice kernel, and the problem remains the same: I finish the installation and reboot, and after initramfs finishes and kinit takes over, I get some mumbo jumbo about ReiserFS being successfully recognized and mounted read-only on sda5 (my /) and some ok stuff about journaling and blocks and then on the next line
sh: root=/dev/sda5 Cannot find file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing
This is my partitions setup:
sda1 - boot ext2
sda5 - / reiser
sda6 - home reiser
sda7 - swap
In the last year I installed Arch on at least half a dozen boxes and I converted all of my Gentoo using friends to Arch and never had a problem like this one!
Please someone give me a good idea.
EDIT: I tried even with persistent naming by-uuid and it doesn't work.
More on this problem on flyspray 9795.

There are unhandled dependencies in core/base, so remember kids, it's always a good idea to install all the packages from base.;)
