Yup they are. But I believe they are depending on the initramfs,
because without it, it doesn't show the Arch messages.

With initramfs (created for my kernel, default hooks, nothing else):

Without initramfs:

My kernel is monolithic, but I've enabled initramfs support for the
purposes of the Arch messages. It also has module support for modules
I built outside of the kernel like nvidia and virtualbox.

dmesg.log:

crond.log
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/533610/

Here are the messages for the boot screen (/var/log/boot):

Everything is pretty much working (sound, graphics, microphone,
camera, etc). I just have to fix my suspend which works in Gentoo but
not in Arch. I'm probably missing something, but that is another
issue.
