[SOLVED] Stuck during boot after hardware upgrade

Hi

I just upgraded my motherboard and processor.  I did a fresh install of Arch after the hardware upgrade. I'm using the same vid card/ram/etc.

The initial install went great. I rebooted, logged in just fine. I then installed su, nvidia and added a user. I did another reboot to kick the nvidia modules in, but now it's hanging before it completes the bootup.

I see the boot loader,
then Loading ... ok
Probing EDD ... ok

early console in decompress_kernel
decompressing linux Parsing ELF done
some of the OK checks

then suck at
Booting the kernel
:: running early hook [udev]

vid card is an nvidia gtx760, monther board is a gigabyte ga-z97x

any thougths?

Re: [SOLVED] Stuck during boot after hardware upgrade

My last successful boot looks fine, but when I do
$ journalctl -b 0
i get
-- No entries --

EDIT
Removing the proprietary nvidia drivers lets me boot all the way. So its definitely something with that. I'd like to use those for gaming. I'll try nvidia-lts and/or the beta drivers.

EDIT 2
I can't get any version of the nvidia drivers to work. This hangup seems to happen right before tty would switch mode (presumably when the video driver would load into the kernel).

SOLVED:

I went into the bios and had to disable the Intel Graphics card.
