Updated an x86_64 box to 2.6.35.8-1 and the boot hangs at the very start with

That's a grub error and has no relation to any kernel update.
I know that, but it has something to do with the kernel and/or dmraid because LTS boot just fine with the same menu.lst and kernel kernel26-2.6.35.7-1 boot just fine with the same menu.lst, but upgrading to 2.6.35.8-1 kills the box. While:
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.35.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz kernel26-headers-2.6.35.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
fixes it.
I know it looks like grub, but all kernels except 2.6.35.8-1 work?? Well i'm not sure what error 24 is, but dmraid can be really complicated. I would recommend you write the dmraid authors from fedora, i'm sure it's a grub vs. dmraid issue which we cannot solve.
