Hi
Solved one issue (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109968), but my adventures continue :)
Now there are other minor issues related to network.
1) The network works fine, but the max. speed which I've reached is ~18 MB/s.
The Gbit link theoretically must sustain 125 MB/s, but practically I think ~80 MB/s (never worked before; supposd this using the formuls 10 x 8 MB/s - the max sustained speed by a 100 mbps Fast Ethernet connection).
Hoped for at least 50 MB/s.
Do you have some ideas what to do to reach a greater speed? or 18 MB/s is OK and I have not to worry?
2) The second issue: I get "up: error fetching interface information: Device not found" every time I start/restart the network service.
Basically, I get the following:
:: Stopping Network [DONE]
:: Starting Network [BUSY]
up: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[DONE]
but the notworks works fine.
3) And the 3rd question, a noobish one: where could I find all the messages which are displayed when the Arch linux boots up? (displayed after pressing Power ON button untill the "login" prompt which cleans up the viewport)
Hardware/network configuration: 2 PC connected directly using a patch-cord; 1 Gbit connection; the second PC has a fresh console-based Arch 2010.05, RTL8111DL NIC, using r8169 (also tried r8168) module

Memory serves me right the scroll key during boot should help [might want to check that]

Thank you, Mr Green
I guess your answer is for the 3rd question ... I've checked and it works like a "pause" button, but only while starting / stopping services (before services it doesn't work).
Anyway, it's not so easy to react. My PC is a 4-cores AMD 620 @ 3.20 GHz + 4 GB RAM and I'm not able to react so quickly. It dispalys technical data for a fraction of a second.
Maybe this info goes to a special file? or could be fetched somehow after it was displayed?

any ideas about "up: error fetching interface information: Device not found" ?

paste your rc.conf and ifconfig -a

Mr.Elendig, thank you a lot
this helped to remove that message ... and I can't remember how "lo" got there
there is also a strange network behaviour: sometimes after boot/reboot my eth0 and eth1 are interchanged and don't work ... a reboot normally helps and every NIC takes its correct place and name
some ideas?
