[arch] kernel .19 series hits testing

[Tobias Powalowski]

Hi 
kernel 2.6.19 series is now in testing, it will be the kernel series for 0.8 
release
so please test this stuff well before it can go into current repository.

Changes:
- new IDE/ATA subsystem more details below:
  The new kernel introduces the new ata/pata subsystem, 
    - PATA/IDE SUPPORT IS EXPERIMENTAL!
      - you need to change from ide hook to pata in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf 
HOOKS=
      - don' forget to rebuild your initrd image after this modification
      - Name scheming changes: 
        your device nodes in /dev change then from hd? to sd? 
        -> update your root=/dev/hd? GRUB/LILO entries 
        -> FSTAB needs to be modified, change all /dev/hd? entries
      - Examples:
        /dev/hda3 --> /dev/sda3
        /dev/hdc8 --> /dev/sdc8
      - at the moment it's experimental only activate it 
        if you know how to rescue the system if something goes wrong!
