Hi everyone. I installed arch linux here at my PC, a Core 2 Duo 4300 + Intel DG965WH (ICH8 chipset family) and a Nvidia Geforce 8600 Fatal1ty. Everything but the video board is onboard. After installing arch, anytime I booted the system, it froze at "Loading udev uevents [BUSY]", no response from the system, hardware or whatsoever. Then I booted it from the CD, CHROOTed at my installation and edited rc.conf, turning off modules auto loading. Then the system booted ok. So I decided to compile a fresh vanilla kernel (2.6.23.12 ) from the source, using the classic 'make menuconfig ' method. I already did that in other distros, I know exactly my hardware, so I don´t need anything to be detected by udev or anything else. I compiled the kernel and the system hardware freezes at some point (whitch I give up trying to find out why for now). The default arch system with modules auto-loading turned off boots ok, so I was wondering if there is some way to check its configuration at menuconfig so I can compare to my own configuration and find out whats wrong. I also wanna know if there is a way to simply safely override hardware detection, since I don´t need it. And also where can I find de module list for my hardware (DG965WH)

the kernel config for kernel26 is installed as /boot/kconfig26. assuming its not a bad harddrive or filesystem, you can try loading modules by hand until you find one that locks your machine. or try acpi=off kernel options, otherwise you'll have find out what udevd is loading that hangs it.
if after booting without autoloading, change autoloading to on, and then run /etc/start_udev again does it hang? you also might get some errors in syslog with that

Man, sorry for the delay to answer. Thanks, it had something to do with an option in my mobo: Under Chipset->PciExpress -> Test Compliance Pattern . If I turn it off, it solves all of my problems. Thanks everyone

File a bug, the option may not be essential.
