SOLVED Fresh arch install stuck after fsck, flashing hard drive light.
I've looked around here and google and either I'm using the wrong key words or people have solved this themselves.
I'm stuck after a fresh arch install, I followed the guide to the letter (I've also installed arch quite a few times previously without this issue on different hardware):
What is happening is everything is great until it runs fsck says the drive is clean and attempts to move on, it just sticks on that screen. These are the two messages I have on screen when this happens:
[1.457318] pci 0000:00:01.0: ASPM: Could not configure common clock
/dev/md126p3: clean, 37133/90497024 files, 5954354/361960443 blocks
After that it completely hangs with the hard drive light flashing. I had to go back initially and add mdadm_udev to hooks and mdmon to binaries to get the drive to get past the initrd (MDMON was suggested by the wiki to stop RAID rebuilds at boot).
Solution: It was not actually hanging it wasn't displaying anything after that point on screen, going back in to the arch cd mounting everything chrooting back in and installing nvidia drivers fixed this issue.

Are you using a raid setup?

I am using a raid setup, yes, I have the hook mdadm_dev and binary mdmon added to mkinitcpio.conf (I believe that's the correct file name, I know I added it to the right place I just can't remember the actual name off of the top of my head) and ran the appropriate command to generate another initrd.
Edit: and the raid was picked up automatically when I booted arch, it was found as /dev/md126.
