Boot hangs at "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed - [BUSY]"

I have an MSI nettop with an Atom processor and integrated graphics that I have been using as a headless server. I did a full system upgrade the other day, the first one I have done in a while. Upon rebooting, the process hangs at "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed"

I have tried adding "noapic" and "noacpi" to the kernel boot line (I am not sure if "apic" is a malformation of "acpi"). I have tried "rootdelay=5" as well. None of this helps.

Other people seem to have a similar problem, except the screen goes blank after the boot hangs. In my case, however, the screen never changes from the boot screen.

Does anyone have some insight?

This happened to me before because of a problem with the radeon module (The KMS hacking is constantly making it unstable). I experimented with blacklisting all my modules until I found the problematic one.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

add 'nomodeset' to your kernel options.

Thanks for both of your replies. For what it is worth, I think I tried 'nomodeset' to no avail.

I actually solved the problem by doing a kernel rollback as specified in the wiki. Booted fine after installing a kernel I had in the pacman cache.
