waiting for udev uevents to be processed hangs for 30s. |SOLVED|

Hello. This is my first post.

Just installed ArchLinux with KDE 4.7,everything is working perfectly but something is really annoying.
When booting up the laptop (toshiba satellite) it takes too much loading this "waiting for udev uevents to be processed", like 30 or 40 secs,and after that all is fine.

i have tried a lot of things with DAEMONS AND MODULES, also tried  blacklisting some modules just like this post said.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133032
But nothing has worked.

Maybe this could help or at least be related:

dmesg | grep fail
[    0.496066]  pci0000:00: ACPI _OSC request failed (AE_NOT_FOUND), returned control mask: 0x1d
[    0.499488]  pci0000:3f: ACPI _OSC request failed (AE_NOT_FOUND), returned control mask: 0x1d

It looks just like  the same thing that happened to TuxLyn in the post i showed before.

I have an ATI card HD5400 so the other solutions in the Forum like this:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92189   didn't work at all.

Btw, ArchLinux rules!, i really liked it so decided to leave Debian!

Greets!

Re: waiting for udev uevents to be processed hangs for 30s. |SOLVED|

Welcome to arch.  Great first post - all the right info, and it shows you've looked around for your own answer.

However, it seems you did miss the one thread you needed to find.  The title was something like "Udev hangs for 30 seconds on boot."  If you google that (with site:bbs.archlinux.org) you should find it quickly.

The gist of it is that there are certain modules that need to be added to the MODULES line in rc.conf for now.  It seems that the vast majority (if not all) of these are the wireless modules - brcmsmac in my case, but it would be different in yours.

If you don't know your wireless module you can find it in the output of "lspci -v" and look for the line "kernel driver in use" under your wireless card.

Oh, thanks!, i had read that post, but i didn't add the right module of my wireless thanks.! it worked.!
