Summary and Info:
I've got a more or less new Arch system installed with more or less only the "basic" packages installed (base+internet stuff+gnome) at the moment. After I rebooted when the latest kernel update "kernel26-2.6.23.9-1" was installed I'm stuck at the bootup screen for looking at "Loading UDev uevent" staying in [BUSY] mode for over a minute before the system goes ahead and loads further. What can cause this "time-out"/waiting? And why now with just a ".8-1 to .9-1" update? uname -a: Linux archbox 2.6.23-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 26 21:15:02 UTC 2007 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux /etc/rc.conf: [code]LOCALE="en_US.utf8" HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" TIMEZONE="Europe/Oslo" KEYMAP="no-latin1" CONSOLEFONT="default8x16" CONSOLEMAP= USECOLOR="yes" MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" MOD_BLACKLIST=() MODULES=(atl1 mii slhc snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore fuse uinput) USELVM="no" HOSTNAME="armor.joffer.net" eth0="dhcp" INTERFACES=(eth0) gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1" ROUTES=(!gateway) DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus hal fam alsa sshd gpm avahi-daemon)[/code] /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: [code]MODULES="pata_jmicron ata_generic ahci ata_piix" BINARIES="" FILES="" HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput keymap resume filesystems"[/code] More people have reported this.

I think the problem is /lib/udev/load-modules.sh, which is called about 100 times at bootup and is way too complicated for that.
Still, I'll take a peek at that script and try to optimize it.
[root@matrix hwdata]# hwd -u
Testing: kernel (2.6.23-ARCH) supports uevents
Update pci-, usb.ids, and xorgtable.
Are you connected and ready to update(y/n)? [n] y

(files are downloaded and replaced)
What I noticed this time is that is says "Testing:", and it's in bold and color so guess it's not ready for prime time and perhaps the reason?
Could you (Joffer) please check, if the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-btnx.rules" is existent? This file slows down UDev massively! You can safely remove it, if you have a new version of btnx installed because it is not needed anymore. The version available in AUR should be already enough. The problem is: This file is not longer in the btnx-package but it gets not removed when updating btnx so you have got to remove it manually.
The change can be seen on the same forum post that is in the bug topic.

This is most likely an entirely new problem, please open a NEW bug report with all the details - all that reopening an old and probably unrelated bug does is confuse people. Thank you.
