Boot process freezes when booting from UEFI

Subject says it all. I followed the grub2/uefi wiki to configure Arch to work with my new motherboard's EFI. I can boot into grub okay and I can select the entry that boots Arch, but the boot hangs indefinably at the 'loading udev uevents [BUSY]' prompt. By contrast, if I boot using a 2nd HDD which has grub-bios on it, Arch comes up without a hitch. I must conclude that booting from UEFI is the problem and would like to fix it.

I moved all logs from /var/log so that the dir is empty hoping to catch something that would give a clue but after a failed boot attempt, mounting the root partition and inspecting /var/log gave no files.
