[SOLVED] "waiting for udev uevents to be processed" hangs

I installed archlinux from 2010.05 this morning, and it was working fine. However, in order to install more I had to update the kernel. I ran pacman -Suy and it updated the kernel and all other packages in my system.
On rebooting the machine it hangs on "waiting for udev uevents to be processed" with a green block on the top of the screen.

It also does this on the fallback.

Not sure how I can troubleshoot this since I can't even get to a simple console. Everything is broken.

Anything that I might be able to do to fix this?

Press 'e' to edit the kernel line in grub and append 's'

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/bf1d191b-0f0d-4961-bd67-4d023a2e5873 ro s

It should give you a simple console.

Thanks for the help. I actually managed to fix this with 'nomodeset'.

Weird, when I plug my lan cable in, it still waits... Un pluging it and reboot works.

Same for me too.. Hanged with LAN cable plugged in... But, removing the cable, there were no issues...  This happened with me today only with 2.6.36.2-1 kernel

I solved it by removing my tv card. But I also got the message that a udev timed out because of a device in /sys/.../video4linux/ - so there were not that many possibilities...
