[SOLVED] Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid.device/start timed out.

When booting into my system, the boot hangs for 1 minute and 30 seconds while two job processes time out.

Systemd-analyze:

Startup finished in 3.578s (kernel) + 1min 30.292s (userspace) = 1min 33.871s

Here is the specific errors from the journalctl command:  (notice the time interval)

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="ext2"

# BINARIES
BINARIES=""

# FILES
FILES=""

# HOOKS
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt btrfs lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

I believe that the issue is with my mkinitcpio.conf, I was having issues before where it would not boot.  Maybe my hooks are in the wrong order, or I'm missing some packages...  Anyways, when I boot (after waiting 1 minute 30 seconds...) everthing seems fine exept that my network card is not running, but that may be another issue.  When I rebuild mkinitcpio, I get two messages about the firmware modules aic94xx and wd719x.  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

Edit: Changed subject to better fit problem.

SOLVED:

The issue was that the system was trying to mount a volume that did not exist.  Check your /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab files for bad configurations.

I figured it out!  For anyone looking up a somilar issue, like your system hanging at boot time for some jobs to complete, check your /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab files.  I had a half-configured line in mine.  Commenting it out now makes my system possibly the fastest I've ever used.

Your right, it was nothing.
