Details
I have upgraded few days ago kernel 2.6.20 to latest 2.6.21
from current repository. After rebooting the machine I have
notice that it hangs at load of "Udev uevents" process.
After whole day of tests, and downgrading random packages
udev and kernel etc. I discovered that the problem lays in
the newest build of Kernel 2.6.21 for arch and is related
probably with ACPI. But it worked fine on 2.6.20 and I
didn't had any problems there. If I used acpi=off command
the system boots little slower than always and some modules
that I use didn't loaded properly but loaded. Now I can't
ofcourse turn off computer automaticly so it's a big issue
for me at current state. I got a pc with AMD processor and
motherboard based on SiS 735 chipset that can be some sort
for tip for ppl who will work to fix this.

They differ, there was removed hotkey.ko and there were added bay.ko, container.ko, processor.ko and thermal.ko.
Maybe I should load the modules which differ to make it work, can it help somehow to get acpi back?
Did you upgrade full system?
initscripts-0.8-8 (IIRC) added automatical loading of these modules: ac battery button fan processor thermal
A key error message in dmesg seems to be "clocksource tsc unstable (delta = xxxxxxx) " .
The boot parameter hpet=disable has no effect.
My chipset is NVIDIA MCP51
I'm using kernel2.6.20-ck at the moment, this problem began with the 2.6.21 kernel.
MoBo: ASUS A8N-E, CPU: Athlon64 4000+, Chipset: nVidia nForce 4 Ultra !
I had to put kernel26 in my IgnorePkg's list for now... :(
Unplugging the mouse brings it back instantly, so i think it's a driver related issue, not module-related.
Processor is AMD Turion XL-50, Chipset is ATI.
ICH6 Chipset, CPU=pentium-m!

AMD Turion64x2 processor and nVidia C51D + MCP51 chipset.
kernel26-2.6.22-4 doesn't solve the problem.
the boot process hangs on 'checking filesystems' . i waited for 10 minutes, still [busy].
pressing enter : goes on , hangs at 'mounting local filesystems'
enter : hangs at 'removing leftover files'
enter : hangs at 'updating module dependencies'
enter : hangs at network start
repeatedly pressing enter brings me to console login
login from console works, but needs enter to show prompt.
starting mc : needs enter to become active
kernel.log shows clocksource tsc unstable
on shutdown i again have to press enter to make it continue
booting on battery or adapter doesn't make a difference
As with kernel 2.6.21 booting with usb-mouse attached solves all problems.
kernel.log shows no clocksource unstable message.
adding usbinput to mkinitcpio doesn't solve the problem, but it shows the clocksource unstable message on screen.
I've installed Arch64 and works perfectly, 32 bits version still have the problem.
