Can't boot kernel

Hello, i recently reinstalled my archlinux. I can boot default archlinux's kernel with no problem. But when i boot my custom made kenrel, it stops at line
" :: Loading keyboard map: us in legacy mode [DONE]"

I tryied to compile 2.6.24.2 , 2.6.24, 2.6.23.something. All with the same result. Arch's default kernel ist 2.6.24.

Any ideas why is this happening ?

Re: Can't boot kernel

How did you compiled your custom kernel, did you installed with a PKGBUILD, manual and did you messed with menuconfig ?

Re: Can't boot kernel

I guess it's got to be just some configuration change in 'make menuconfig' you've got to make. The only thing I can think of is Device Drivers >> Input Device Support >> Keyboards. If you've got one of those keyboard types then compile it in I guess.

Did you do 'make modules_install' during your compilation? Its the only other thing I can think of.

--- Keyboards

I have none of those, my machine is notebook.
I thinkg that keymap is set because the message says it's [DONE]

Also another thing came to my mind. Next row which should appear during boot is "INIT: entering run level 3".
Can the problelm be something with kernel <=> init ?

I did make modules_install. However i have most things built in kernel, not as module.
