Have you tried to boot with liveCd, chroot, rebuild your images? (don't
forget to mount /boot).

Can you access your RAID arrays from within liveCD?

Are you sure your HOOKS line is not commented?

In my case, it was not, after update.

My conf looks like this:

HOOKS="base udev fsck autodetect pata scsi sata mdadm filesystems
usbinput shutdown"

RAID-1 or 5 depending on the partitions, no lvm.

Thanks, but I get the same result with mdadm_udev as with mdadm
(and same with the latests kernel update for what it's worth).

It's indeed a spam message, though i didn't receive it, assuming it was
sent to the list.

Anyway, gerolde is the name of the main arch server. You can read about
all archlinux servers here:

  How could I apply that to package() only. A separate:

options=(!makeflags)

in the package() function itself?

  Any thought on which would be preferred? I don't mind doing it either way, so
for the TDE PKGBUILDs, let me know if one way is better than the other. Thanks.

  By the way, there are now 86 PKGBUILDs for the trinity/TDE project. Looks like
all major packages are building on gcc 4.7.

Spammers got arch-projects' mail address somewhere (hacked someone
with it in contacts?).  ~All messages on the list have such headers.
The one you got, mine and even yours.

This is a well known problem and reported a number of times already -
I believe it will be fixed in the next release...

I don't reboot often aside from kernel updates so after a reboot
yesterday I noticed that dbus didn't start (wicd warning about dbus)
and then tried to start it manually getting the warning about the pid
file.

Didn't had time to look into it yesterday, but today I've rebooted to
see if it was an isolated issue or not. It isn't, dbus won't start at
boot.

Using:

dbus 1.4.20-1
linux 3.3.1-1
initscripts 2012.03.2-1
systemd 44-5
initscripts-systemd v44.1-2
libsystemd 44-5
systemd-arch-units 20120401-1

If I forgot to add some package relevant, please tell me.

[arch-general] Regressions with X and dbus (maybe?)

[G. Schlisio]

Hello all,
since the last update today, my X server does not start on startup, i 
have to start it manually.
after that, a lot of things dont work, such as network (wicd), audio 
(alsa, no pulseaudio!).
attempting to start dbus needs me to remove the pidfile first, then it 
starts without errors, but crashes again instantly.
some hopefully useful information: linux 3.2, kde-4.8.2, fully updated 
system

help pretty much appreciated.
georg

Ah, you're talking about the wireless problems. I thought you meant 
the suspend problems with „Same here“. Yeah, ath9k is definitely 
broken.




Since last kernel upgrade, 3.3.1-1-ARCH I am having some trouble with 
ath5k, like random disconnects only a reboot allows me to reconnect to 
the AP.

Now I downgraded to 3.2.14-1 and wifi is working fine.

Some machines (especially smaller laptops) or boards use hubs internally
rather than full usb ports that don't share their power.

This is especially true of ports on the front of your desktop compared
to the rear and is why some devices only work on rear ports due to a
higher power demand, one characteristic is a usb hdd that sometimes
won't spin up on front ports but does everytime on rear ports. Maybe you
just sapped too much leckie at once and something got confused?

Re-plugging should be all that's necessary though, that's a bit strange.
