Re: [arch-general] Boot sequence stops at modules (rc.sysinit)
Thank you all for your replies. I may have found the problem, although I'm not sure because I ended up re-installing: tired of using live CDs and rebooting to see if my changes had any effect on the problem, I decided to do an ftp re-installation... but when I created my network connection, I kept getting transmission errors (code 0x90 reported in one of the virtual consoles, lots of TX overruns reported by ifconfig and in /proc/net/dev). That seemed odd as the hardware was working perfectly during the last upgrade... in the end I had to switch off my router and computer for those errors to disappear and to get a connection working. So I wonder if after the modules loaded, the network connection could not be brought up and caused everything else to fail. I'll never know as I wasn't able to test it... Thanks again for your helpful suggestions.

Um,. I *ALSO* use ext2 for my /boot, and for ALL the reasons pointed out in this thread. PLEASE do NOT remove it, and *IF* it was removed, please restore it.
