USB Installation LXDE hangs up during boot

Hi Everyone,
As you can think I am new to Arch Linux. (But I am not new to Linux itself (using Ubuntu and openSUSE))
And I have got a problem. I am in a process installing Arch Linux on a USB key. The installation went well. (No problems with grub etc.)
I removed the installation CD and started configuring the installation. Because it is a small stick (16GB) I wanted
to install LXDE on it. During this installation there was no problem.
Then I enabled the LXDM. I rebooted and I choosed Arch Linux in Grub. The boot process hung up at this line:

systemd-fsck[227]: /dev/sdc2: clean, 15/369472 files, 58858/1475136 blocks

sdc2 is my /home partition. Has anyone an idea what the problem is and how I can solve it?
Thank you for reading.

Re: USB Installation LXDE hangs up during boot

Can you switch to another console with Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F7?
Anything interesting in the logs? Remove 'quiet' from the kernel command line to get more output in the console during boot.

Re: USB Installation LXDE hangs up during boot

Sorry for not responding so long...
I have a zip-file with my logs and pictures of the booring process.
I don't have Virtual Box. So I made pictures of the booting process with my camera. (I'm sorry for that)
I looked up the log and everything I have access to is added.

I can switch to another terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2. But I have to do this sveral times, because it is always switching back to the first terminal.
After doing it ca. 5~10 times it stays at the 2nd terminal.

Re: USB Installation LXDE hangs up during boot

While pacman.log shows you have installed video drivers, Xorg0.log says X can't find them at all .

This along with the "failed to write entry" message from systemd-journal in horizontal2.jpg strongly suggest something is setup wrong.

I suggest you boot into multi-user.target (console login, very similar to the sysvinit runlevel 3) instead of graphical target.
(see Change_default_target_to_boot_into

If that works, you can start troubleshooting for the cause.
It might also help if you gave some info about how you installed arch.

Sidenote : it looks like you have the whole xf86-video-* group installed, normally this isn't done as most people only need 1 of them.
Do you have a specific reason for this ?
