[SOLVED] 3+ minute boots after upgrade / insane UDEVD

FIX

1. force uninstall of gstreamer (pacman -Rd) // do this to keep the applications that require gstreamer
2. install udev 141-5 from old repos // http://schlunix.org/archlinux/ <-- damn great site
3. edit pacman.conf and add udev to the Ignorepkg list
3. save & reboot

------
I installed an old archlinux from cd (2008 I believe) and it was working fine. Then I did pacman -Syu and the next thing I know, I'm in slug hell.
The problem has continued for about 2 months now. It's driving me nuts! Anyhelp is much appreciated.

--- UPDATE ---

I narrowed it down to the DVD drive + and or hald polling modules.

$ ps aux | grep udevd | wc -l
85

Re: [SOLVED] 3+ minute boots after upgrade / insane UDEVD

I think that there are two workarounds for this issue:
- keep a cd/dvd in the optical disc drive.
- install an older version of udev. I am currently using the udev from the core iso (archlinux-2009.08-core-i686). It conflicts with gstreamer, but will fix the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] 3+ minute boots after upgrade / insane UDEVD

I think your hard disk is failing, though resetting the BIOS to defaults and checking cables may help
run smartmontools

Re: [SOLVED] 3+ minute boots after upgrade / insane UDEVD

My harddrisk can't be failing, it's brand new, and it passed all SmartControl test. Also the hang only occurs on the latest version of archlinux, not on the older versions, and other distros.My harddrisk can't be failing, it's brand new, and it passed all SmartControl test. Also the hang only occurs on the latest version of archlinux, not on the older versions, and other distros.

I narrowed it down to the DVD drive + and or hald polling modules. Also brand new. When I find a fix I will post it here.

Re: [SOLVED] 3+ minute boots after upgrade / insane UDEVD

FIX

1. force uninstall of gstreamer (pacman -Rd) // do this to keep the applications that require gstreamer
2. install udev 141-5 from old repos // http://schlunix.org/archlinux/ <-- damn great site
3. edit pacman.conf and add udev to the Ignorepkg list
3. save & reboot

Can you please elaborate the steps? What exact commands we need to give? Especially Step-2.

Also, you took 141-5. Why not 145-1?
