Details
Arch's stock kernel (kernel26) 2.6.20.4 - and maybe others -
are unable to boot machines with the NVIDIA nForce MCP51
chipset (mostly used in HP and Compaq laptops AFAIK).
I've only tested kernel 2.6.17 myself, which worked fine. People says that 2.6.20.3 works fine, however I haven't had a chance to test it myself. The boot sequence locks/freezes with the following messages: [code]0000:00:0d.0: cannot adjust BAR0 (not I/O) 0000:00:0d.0: cannot adjust BAR1 (not I/O) 0000:00:0d.0: cannot adjust BAR2 (not I/O)[/code] However the cursor "_" still blinks. These messages shows right after a line that says [code]ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0[/code] Sometimes it just shows BAR0 and BAR1, and sometimes no messages at all after the ACPI thing. Booting the kernel with pci=routeirq, acpi=off and nosmp doesn't make any difference.

thanks
So there's nothing to do; we'll be able to install the next version of Arch.
