I tried this and it didn't work for me. When I did my first reboot with 2.6.31.2-1, it worked with this mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata filesystems"

(everything else is commented out)

On tty it looked like I had put radeonfb into the modules line of rc.conf. Is this the common behaviour? (I haven't see kms in real so far, so I don't exactly know what it behaves like)

Then I tried it with MODULES="radeon" in mkinitcpio.conf, which made my reboot process stop at "waiting for udev uevents to be processed".

I'd love to do more tests for you with other options, e.g. something in modprobe.conf etc to make kms work great by default on arch!
