Are you using GRUB or LILO?

How far did the boot process get? Did you see any errors? When did it hang?

Finaly I add a ligne to tell pacman to dont upgrade kernel26 and it works. My computer seems to dont correctly handle the last kernel ( or the last kernel dont handle my computer ( or both )).

I am using lilo. I have tested GRUB and it dont boot ( I admit that I don't read the config file ).

With lilo it's booting with the default kernel in 06. An 2.6.3 kernel.

After updating I can see the loading points but after that nothing. I don't wait for a while because I was thinking my computer was frozen.

It's certainly due to a particular hardware configuration. Anyway it's a very annoying bug and I decide to reinstall all because I don't know another solution.

Okay. You re-ran 'lilo' when you upgraded to the new kernel, right?

Also, try booting with "acpi=off" and/or "noapic". These features can be screwy on some hardware.
