What if you put 'debug' there, so that the line reads:
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5 ro debug
What it says in total is:
Booting 'Arch Linux on Archangel'
root (hd1,5)
Filesystem Type ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5 ro debug
[Linux-BzImage, setup=0x3200, size=0x1ff440]
(then it sits and reboots)
This must have something to do with how 2.6.34.3 handles dmraid, because after
a failed boot, the bios reports the second array as "Unhealthy". (It is fine).
Simply powering off and back on re-syncs the array and it boots into LTS just fine.
Adding debug makes no difference.
What does this look like to you? Broken dmraid for nv8200 chipset in 2.6.34.3?
I know this is *not* a generic dmraid, nvraid or 2.6.34.3 issue, because to
trouble-shoot I updated my *regular* server (Tyan Computer Tomcat K8E (S2865))
to 2.6.34.3 and it uses nv_sata and dmraid as well. Updated without an issue.
The working server has the following dmraid config and lspci info:

The big difference I see is that my main server 'nirvana' uses:
Kernel driver in use: sata_nv
Kernel modules: ata_generic, pata_acpi, sata_nv, ide-pci-generic
which is working just fine with 2.6.34.3 while the test box 'archangel' uses:
Kernel driver in use: ahci
Kernel modules: ahci
so it looks like the problem is in the ahci module and dmraid. Now how to fix? I
have always used this box with mkinitcpio.conf configured with:
MODULES="dm_mod dm_mirror sata_nv"
I'll go see if I can rebuild with the ahci module loaded in the initramfs and
see if that helps. But regardless, there is a bug somewhere. LTS boots fine in
this config and 2.6.34.3 doesn't??
