I'm trying to install Arch Linux on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. It came pre-installed with Windows 8.1, but all remnants of W8 have been removed. Currently it's running Ubuntu-Gnome.
Using Windows 7, I created a UEFI bootable USB stick using the instructions provided on the wiki (extracting w/ 7zip and renaming the volume label). The UBS stick booted just fine, and I was presented with a menu of about 5 items -- the first being "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI" After selecting the first item, the screen ran through a bunch of items (too small for me to see with this crazy resolution), but they all said [OK]. Then the screen cleared and I was presented with a shell prompt. This is where the problem begins. Immediately, I start seeing the following lines written to the screen about every 5 seconds...
usb 2-7 unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -71
usb 2-7 can't read configurations, error -71
periodically I see this thrown in as well...
unable to enumerate USB device on port 7
Every time I try typing something whatever I'm typing gets blown away by 2 more lines being written to the screen. This never ends. Eventually I end up with thousands rows and I just give up.
Any ideas? Is the hardware too new?
Thanks very much!

It's not a real fix to the problem, but you can get rid of the messages by decreasing the console log level:
dmesg -n 1Offline
Thanks omnibrain!
For anyone else reading this post, here's a great article describing someone's experience installing Arch on a Yoga 2 Pro:

I can completely understand this guy's frustration with the clickpad, it is completely unusuable with the default settings. I played around with the synaptics settings and it is much better now, I just adjusted the FingerHigh and FingerLow options:
synclient FingerHigh=46
synclient FingerLow=46With these settings, the cursor doesn't twitch around anymore when you try to click something.
