Taking a look at switching from Gentoo to Arch. Sure there are many who have done this already.
On my Dell Latitude D610 laptop, I install fresh from the 0.7.2 CD and build the base image. After rebooting into my shiny new system, I'm prompted to upgrade pacman. Having done so I remove raidtools (pacman -R raidtools) and run 'pacman -Suy' again and am prompted to upgrade the system with ~116.1mb of packages. No problem there and shortly it completes. As this is now going to implement udev (and others) I need a reboot. Upon reboot, I get an instant kernel pacnic "...Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" I used to get this on Gentoo when forgetting to compile in XFS support to the kernel. But here I use the stock Arch Linux kernel. My partitions are as follows: /dev/sda1 - /boot (ext2) /dev/sda2 - swap /dev/sda3 - / (xfs) /dev/sda4 - /home (xfs) Is there no support for XFS in the latest stable release kernel? Regs.
