So, here's the deal. I got a eee 701, i upgraded ram(2g), and now i wanna put archlinux on it, but it wont boot, actually it starts booting, but it stops at: 'waiting for udev uevents to be processed', but it doesnt freeze, i can type, go to newline, etc, but it wont go further.
My sd card is in the eee, might this be causing the problem?

have you checked the md5sum of the install-media ?
i'm writing this from my eeepc 701 (installed on sdhc-card by the way) so arch work really well an an eee.
hope that helps

well, it worked, only it took a little longer for udev. but after the first boot, the other reboot just flew by..
but when i shut down the eee for 4 hours, and then booted it again, the udev took his time too..

edit:
i figured now it waits 180s when sd card is inserted(timeout), but when it isnt, it pass right through..
so why is timeout present when sd card is inserted?
Offline
it looks like your card-reader needs time to settle after boot, could be because you don't have usb in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ?
my hooks line looks like this:
HOOKS="base udev usb autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
but i need usb in there because i installed on sdhc card ( the card reader in internaly via usb ).

well, now it passes the timeout, but when i try to mount it, it is not in /dev/sdbx ..does it have some other name?
Offline
when the card is present please make fdisk -l and post the output.
btw. how are you trying to mount it ?
Offline
When the sd card is inserted, i cant find it in /dev.
I try to mount it with mount /dev/sdb1 /x/y, but it isnt present ..
On the other laptop i can mount the sd card..
Fdisk -l shows only
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 /

the output of fdisk -l should look somthing like this
fdisk -l

you can also whatch dmesg before and after putting in the card

Yes, i know how the output od fdisk -l looks like, its just i didnt wanted to copy all, so i just copied the relevant data, and that is that the output prints out only the sda.
So here is the piece od dmesg when i insert the SD card:
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 15564800 512-byte logical blocks: (7.96 GB/7.42 GiB)
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
sdb : sdb1
ls /dev/sdb [TAB]
sdb
there is no sdb1. and when i hit fdisk -l or cfdisk -l, it stops, i hit ctrl+c, nothing happens, it continuos only when i pull out the sd card..
any ideas?
