archlinux iso boot stuck at "running cleanup hook [udev]"

Hi,

when I try to boot archlinux using the archlinux ISO, the boot process gets stuck at "running cleanup hook [udev]".
I have made a photo of the whole output during boot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ulbh14lwz5ian … .34.25.jpg
I have tried with a USB Stick created using dd and also using a CD.

At the beginning the Gummiboot Boot Menu appears, where I have picked the entry "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD": https://www.dropbox.com/s/aj00on4p34ij7 … .10.22.jpg

I'm surprised that Gummiboot instead of GRUB appears, since from my understanding GRUB is used in case a BIOS motherboard is used.

Here is an excerpt from lspci:
[...]

Is there any option to force the usage of GRUB or any other way to deal with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I also tried different versions (2014.12.01, 2014.11.01, 2014.06.01)
