Guys,
I have managed to find a work-around to the latest kernel failing to boot on my
Toshiba laptop. Before downgrading, I tried chrooting the system and rebuilding
the initramfs, but no luck it stopped at the same place on boot -- Setting up
UTF-8 mode.
So I booted to the dual-install media, chrooted the system and downgraded to
kernel26-2.6.34-2. This kernel boots fine.
There is a problem with kernel26-2.6.34.1-1-x86_64. Since I can't boot it, I'm
not sure what testing I can do, but if you can think of one, I'm happy to run
it. This laptop is a Toshiba 205d. It hasn't ever had a problem with any other
Arch or SuSE kernel, so I'm not sure what to tell you.
I've posted the dmidecode information in case that will help. It is
here:

Let me know what you think.
