[arch-general] Problem with loading modules in 2.6.27

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Hello,

I have noticed a strange pause after either loading modules or loading 
standard ACPI modules. It started happening after I upgraded to 2.6.27. When I 
hit enter, the boot continues normally. It does not happen everytime but 1 in 
3 boots, it "hangs". 

My rc.conf is configured to load following modules

forcedeth ath_hal ath_pci wlan snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-
alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore processor thermal  
cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave powernow-k8 k8temp

Standard ACPI modules are "ac battery button fan processor thermal", according 
to /etc/rc.sysinit. These two arrays have duplicates but modprobe should 
handle that right?

Any help in debugging this problem is appreciated.
