[Solved] 'Running early hook' no boot

I've been changing the mkinitcpio file a little bit to get you pass through to a VM working, however somewhere in my efforts I seem to have made my system unable to boot. When I try to boot, it loads through grub then gets stuck on

:: running early hook [udev]
starting version 232

And then doesn't go any further

Re: [Solved] 'Running early hook' no boot

Booting from arch  linux install iso/usb and then chrooting seems easiest way to solve this.

An alternative would be to boot into systemd rescue mode by editing grub commandline and adding systemd.unit=rescue.target as kernel parameter.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

Hi,
I've tried chrooting in and fixing it but I can't seem to find what the problem is, it doesn't look like I've messed up any of the files from what I can tell

Edit:
Every time I seem to post something I seem to find it was a stupid mistake. One of my modules wasn't working properly and was preventing booting

The easiest will be that you show us a working and a non-working mkinitcpio configuration...
