PIII Celeron hangs or reboots when "Waiting for UDev uevents to be..."
Hello
I want to mention that the only way I can boot a Linux kernel on this machine is adding "no-hlt" option. Additionally the Arch installation image reboots shortly after the boot loader's menu is printed, perhaps due to requesting the "no_hlt" instruction.
So I placed the contents of Arch installation LiveCD on the hard drive and installed GRUB using Knoppix.
The problem is that when Arch installation image boots the system hangs or reboots on this stage: "Waiting for UDev uevents to be prcessed", or here with debug option. Sometimes it hangs 3 lines earlier, but more often it reboots.
So it's hard to recognize the exact reason of the issue.
May be I need to bypass some uevents? Or there are some failsafe boot options of Arch installation image?
What can you recommend?

Re: PIII Celeron hangs or reboots when "Waiting for UDev uevents to be..."
I tried the same CPU with another PIII motherboard and surprisingly the "no_hlt" instruction existed. So the lack of this instruction is related to the motherboard or may be broken BIOS.
But the problem of hanging on "Waiting for UDev uevents to be prcessed" still exists for such PIII motherboards that do not support "no_hlt" instruction...
