Upgraded preload from community (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2626) today. Arch boots but locksup just when desktop loads
Here is my daemon list in rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal @netfs dhcdbd @networkmanager @preload @crond @alsa @cpufreq @hddtemp @fam !bluetooth laptop-mode)

I'm experiencing the same thing -- had to downgrade to preload 0.4. I'm thinking it's this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=755420.

i have @preload right after syslog, and preload freezes the boot process.
arch64 here, no useful information on system logs.
had to boot with a live to disable preload, and all went fine.

Hi,
The same problem here. Arch freezes on login prompt or immediately after loging in. My question is: Is there a way to disable preload before booting process? Maybe from grub command line? Or just how to disable it from _out side_ the system?
Peace,
Dawid.

Same problem.
matchil, just boot with the archlinux cd, mount your root partition and edit your rc.conf

I had the same problem yesterday night, good thing I had seen at least this thread title.
Interestingly the preload package in community has now been downgraded to 0.4.
Have you Syued today?

The maintainer has reverted to last preload version in the repo. Marking this thread solved (temporarily )
