At a guess, it sounds like arch is loading a module that's a specific driver for your chipset, while your own kernel is using the generic ata drivers. Take a look at the output of hwd, lspci and such. You also might get some mileage out of googling your motherboard, or poke around on the forums

[arch-general] kernel oopses when using modules

I posted[1] to the forums about this when I thought it was an nvidia problem, but now it seems to be more general. I recently upgraded to kernel26-2.6.23.9-1 from 2.6.23.8-1, and now I get oopses when certain modules are accessed. For example: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
