Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with the latest version of mkinitcpio: it's delaying my boot by about 50-60 seconds.
I was able to fix this in the previous version of mkinitcpio by removing the 'pata' and 'scsi' hooks from mkinitcpio.conf. However, as these hooks have been replaced by 'block', I can't find a way to fix this.
Should I consider downgrading mkinitcpio?
Here's the dmesg output (edited for brevity):

Fair enough. Where should I be blacklisting this module?

I don't have this problem, but I have read elsewhere that you can blacklist the necessary pata_acpi module. This can be done in the usual way of creating the necessary /etc/modprobe.d conf file, and then ensuring that the modconf hook is included. Alternatively, you can specify the created conf file in the FILES section of mkinitcpio.conf.
Edit: my add got the best of me and was snaked by flaconindy. (also corrected some stuffs)

Ok, I'll try this. Thanks guys.
EDIT: It appears to have worked! Thanks again.

Sorry guys, apparently the blacklisted module wasn't the cause. Interestingly, this activity isn't occurring every time I reboot (which explains the "It appears to have worked!" from my previous post). Are there any other modules that I should be blacklisting?

Ah, I should have thought of that earlier. Thank you for the help, falconindy.
Edit: The module that needed blacklisting was sr_mod (NOT sd_mod), thanks again for the help.
