/dev/sdx clean bla bla for 1 min 2 seconds clean install[SOLVED]

I decided to re-install arch on my htpc, due to haven't updated the arch on htpcbox for ages. Well everything went smoothly as always. But I noticed after kernel upgrade my system just stops at "dev/sdc1 xxxxxxxx clean" for exactly 1 minute and 12 seconds, then it boots into my xbmc (gui). A few reboots, the time is always the SAME. I've tried NOT running xbmc, after 1 minute and 12 seconds i see the login prompt in the terminal.

I've checked news section for answers, but this is quite strange?

I think this is in userspace, it's after kernel/GRUB.

Clean install, running xbmc/nvidia and that's it.

uname -a
Linux htpcbox 3.10.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux

dmesg

fstab
http://codepad.org/xyDihP7X

Thanks as always

In your fstab, this line:

/dev/sdd1           	/         	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 0

Try changing to:

/dev/sdd1           	/         	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 1

Edit: also you should consider mounting by UUID or labels.  Much more reliable.

/dev/sdd1           	/         	ext4      	defaults,noatime	0 1

Is another recommended line.

Are all of those partitions available and do all of those mount points exist? Are you sure sdd is always the right disk? (Though it seems like it would just fail if that were the problem.)

I freak out when I see /etc/fstab files not using partition UUIDs these days, though cfr as a point in that if /dev/sdd somehow changed to another disk (yes this does happen when using the /dev/sdXY system, as far as I can see for no apparent reason), it wouldn't be working.

I used to use UUIDs all the time, but I find that filesystem labels are so so much nicer.  Alternatively, if you use GPT, you could also use PARTLABEL as well, but I have a whole-disk btrfs filesystem, which means that I don't actually have a partition.

Thanks guys, changing from device to UUID did the trick
