Re: umount /proc: device is busy

Can you post some surrounding text? When exactly do you see this message? Before the colors start, or after?

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

hmm. i had a similar problem when I was using chroot for something-or-other. i can't recall if i ever sorted it. it was very bizarre. i'd turned off just about everything i could do so. perhaps udev uses /proc?

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

Oh, actually, I've the same problem, I certainly couldn't notice it, because everything works as normal, but there is indeed this problem at boot.
As mancino said, it appears just after "Mounting Local Filesystems"
so it's probably this section when /proc is remounted :

# re-mount /proc , /sys  and usbfs so they can be written to /etc/mtab
umount /proc/bus/usb
umount /proc && mount -t proc none /proc

And indeed, /proc doesn't show up in /etc/mtab, or in mount (since that apparently uses mtab).

You probably should report a bug there : http://bugs.archlinux.org/

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

Are you tried updating to the last initscripts package, I had the same problem and now it works, especially you have to replace rc.sysinit for the new one.

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

oops, me too, I'm not using the normal initscripts package, but the one from this network repo:
http://archlinux.org/~james/projects/network/
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Scripts

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

I was using beyond and initscripts-gensplash too, I manually merge the splash part of the old initscripts in the new one using vimdiff to not loose the silent splash bootscreen, now that beyond is dead I'm testing viper from AUR.

Re: umount /proc: device is busy

you can try to compile initscripts-gensplash from source :
makepkg -i for example
