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??
