Arch Slow Boot

Question

This may seem like a trivial question.
When I used to use Arch Linux 0.6 I used to boot in about 3 seconds.
When I switched over to the 0.7 and new kernel it now takes about 10 - 15 min to boot.
This is kind of hindering my usage of Arch as my primary OS.
THe part of the boot that takes seems to slow down is when it checks all of my IDE devices. It seems to try to detect hdc, hdd, hde, hdf, hdg and takes forever and everntually says "(Resetting Drive)".
Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /proc         proc      defaults            0      0

Thanks for any help you may give. 

Answer 1

My System specs are
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (3.6 Ghz)
1.5 GB of Corsair DDR2 4300
ATI Radeon 7000 PCI Card :oops:
WD 60GB SATA Drive
By the way, when I say the boot time, I'm refering to the time that Arch Linux itself boots. From GRUB/LILO to the logon display not the whole computer.
I'm also running very few sevrices yet, I don't have CUPS, Alsa, Samba, or Apache, MySQL, PHP... running yet. I figure that when I install these it will about 20 seconds. Which is still pretty fast. And much better than that "other operating system" I used to run.
