ACPI: EC: error after installing. [SOLVED]

I install Arch and everything works great.  I have Gnome installed.  When  I restart, however, I get the boot process stops with this:

"ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode
ACPI: EC: GPE storm dtected, disabling EC GPE"

How can I fix this?

I reinstalled Arch without updating anything but pacman and it worked.  Now I'm afraid to update my system.  What should I do?

I would start your system with the kernel option acpi=off.

I fixed it!!!  For anyone else that needs this info.  I just added 'acpi=off noacpi' without quotes to the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst!
