Now that that is out of the way, let's get down to business.
From the information you have given so far, you are able to boot up successfully, right? I do remember a glitch when upgrading a while ago that caused a similar issue. Until I found the solution, I just added mount / -orw,rebind in /etc/rc.local
That caused my / partition to be rw as soon as the boot sequence is completed but still caused my some issues during the daemon start up. After a while I moved that line to /etc/rc.sysinit so it would execute before the daemons.
Still a while later I discovered what the problem was, and I think it was in /etc/fstab, something really obvious, in hind sight but I cannot recall at the moment. Would you mind attaching your fstab? Maybe seeing it will trigger my memory.

Hi Andy . Dont worry about your reply ideas and comments you are the height of politeness compared with some on the lists not just this one either so dont worry I have compared this machine with the laptop that is similar processor ect and same partitioning layout , i can see no difference between the 2 apart from the actual UUID of the partitions i will have a play with some of those suggestions shortly see what happens . I have a feeling it may well be related to the latest util-linux and a another that was changed at the big update i did . Watch this space . Of course noone else will offer any assistance will they EHhhhh! Pete . -- Linux 7-of-9 3.5.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 26 09:14:51 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
