Having trouble booting ArchCK kernel

Question

i tried the one in the repositories, as well as compiling it with ABS (and optimizing for K7 and turning SMP off).
the kernel loads, and messages start spewing on the screen as usual, and it freezes on the following line.
Initializing Cryptographic API
io scheduler noop registered
io scheduler anticipatory registered
and my computer freezes there.  i need to do a hard reboot to get control back.
my grub entry is:
root /boot/vmlinuz26archck root=/dev/hda7 ro video=vesafb:1024x768-32@70
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.15-archck.img
any ideas?  thanks!

this is what i see on the screen (type-pasted):
