Hi!

In my case I solved by removing USB devices when booting, not the mouse or the keyboard, but a cheap card reader and joystick adapter. Hope this helps. ciao! Dario __ Do You Yahoo!?

[arch-general] udev slow to start up
Hi guys,
I have a brand new computer and every time it boots it stalls for a
while at starting udev. Maybe about 10-15 seconds. Then when it gets
to the part Waiting for udev events to be processed it then stalls
for another 30 seconds or so.
When I boot from the Arch install disk I don't get the problem so I'm
guessing it's something to do with the version of udev or the kernel
maybe. I have udev-165 and udev-compat-165 installed and I have also
tried going back to udev-164 but it made no difference.
I get this in dmesg after boot. I know it's my sata DVD drive so here
is the output of 'dmesg | grep ata2'
[...@donna ~]$ dmesg | grep ata2
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1...@0xfe02f000 port 0xfe02f180 irq 22

Other than those error messages and the slow boot, the drive seems to
work fine. I have been able to read and burn discs with no problem.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
