[Solved] Gnome freezing on boot-up until system suspend

So I am having a seriously strange issue with Gnome and perhaps my graphics driver.  I have a haswell i5 and a gtx 980ti graphics card.  I am thinking it could be a driver issue but I couldn't find any information or anyone else experiencing this.

Here is what happens, the system boots up, GDM is enabled in systemd so it starts automatically, screen comes up and then the system is frozen. I cannot switch tty or anything else.  However if I push my physical power button to suspend the computer and then restore from suspend the system responds just fine and then I can proceed to login and go about my business.  If I set up in Gnome settings to login automatically then it does successfully log me into my session but the freezes in the exact same way so the issue does not appear to be isolated to just the login screen.

I am using binary Nvidia driver WITH KMS enabled although I tried booting with KMS disabled and had the same result.

here is the output of 'journalctl -u gdm'

edit:

I have finally solved this by adding "scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1" to my kernel command line. guess it was related to one of my usb devices.

Re: [Solved] Gnome freezing on boot-up until system suspend

I had a similar issue, but happens when I logoff. I found a solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=205709

Basically:
edit:
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
(Type in terminal: $sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf)
and uncoment this line to force Xorg:
WaylandEnable=false
