The hw_default message seems to be quite common - and also harmless! You can suppress it by adding hw_default to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

As regards the "missing kernel" it would be helpful if you could catch the exact message. Does the boot process hang at this point or does it go on to boot? Have you upgraded the kernel with pacman recently? If so, and if you use lilo as your boot manager, did you run "lilo" afterwards?

Try "pacman -Q" to see what kernel version is reported, and compare the result of "uname -a" to verify the running kernel version.
