Long waiting time during "Loading udev uevents" with P35-DS3R fixed

Hello folks,

I just bought a new computer with a new motherboard (GigaByte P35-DS3R), freshly installed Arch Linux and had problems during the boot process because "Loading udev uevents" took a very long time to finish (> 30 sec). In the BIOS both "USB Controller" and "USB 2.0 Controller" are enabled.

I spent a lot of time checking the autoloaded kernel modules and finally found out that the USB modul "uhci_hcd" caused the problems. I just added "uhci_hcd" to the module blacklist and now everything works as expected.

Cheers,

Yogi

Hello again,

ok, my post above does not show the whole truth... blacklisting uhci_hcd caused my good old logitech usb mouse to stop working.

My solution now is to add uhci_hcd to both MOD_BLACKLIST and MODULES so that the module is not loaded by udev but only manually.

Is there a better way?

Cheers,

Yogi

Hello! I'm sorry for all the crap I've written above. Not the motherboard
was the problem but a defective external usb harddisk that was plugged in
during install. After removing it and re-installing Arch Linux everything
works like a charm.

Sorry,
Yogi
