Hi everyone,
I recently ran a Pacman -Syu on my bare bones network boot HTPC. I rebooted for the first time today due to a network issue which caused the machine to freeze up(since it network boots it couldn't do anything with no network). Now when I reboot it seems to be freezing while performing the "Setting Consoles to UTF-8 mode" step. I am not sure what changed on the system as everything else appears to be in good working order. I don't even know where to start to troubleshoot this issue. I had a look through rc.sysinit and I can see the section but nothing seems amiss when compared to my other working machines here. I had a look through the log files but also nothing pops out. Any ideas?
Here is the latest log for pacman to see what was updated:

Solved! It turns out the new kernel must be causing an issue with netbooting. Reverted to 2.6.30 and all is well. Weird!
Offline
This is interesting since I still have the issue on my system, I havn't yet reverted to an older kernel but was thinking the kernel package is the likely issue, using version kernel 2.6.33
I take it this isn't a common error? is this possibly a 64 bit kernel error or a video related error?
Still no answer from me yet, not that I have spend a great deal of time trying to look at it. annoying though.

Update to my previous post, I too have a problem with the Net Install Disk!

I'm having this problem too. If you're still having problems, try the fallback kernel, it's the previous "main" kernel and should work. I tried it and it worked.

I just wanted to add, that I found a fix for myself, everytime I hold down a key while booting, it boots succesfully.
Without this, i have freezes while "Setting Consoles to UTF-8 mode"
