My Arch Linux box has been running great but with one slight problem. It freezes at "Grub Loading Stage 2". It doesn't do this every time however, I'm guessing it does it one out of every ten boots or so. It's no big deal because when it happens I just reset my box, but it kinda worries me and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it.
At first I thought it was the hard drive. I bought a brand new hard drive (I was going to do that anyway) and installed Arch on it, but it has the same problem. This is very strange...

I guess I should've done this before but here is my grub.conf:

I'm sorry to be a pest, but has anyone ran into this problem before?

Sorry to bump an old topic, but this is still happening, and it's getting worse. Now it freezes there one out of every three boots, and since I use this box as a server now, it's a bit more critical. Anyone know what may cause this?

try device in stead of uuid's in grub and fstab(rescue cd or usb is useful in case of errors)
I don't believe this can make a difference (HW problem is more likely), but newer know.

I'll try that. I also tried updating the BIOS, so I'll see if that works. I hate updating the BIOS but at this point I'll try anything.
