[SOLVED]A Black Screen When Booting...

Hi,

I Installed Arch a few hours ago and it worked fine. I booted once without problems. Then I went on Windows for a couple of hours. I tried to boot Arch again but a got a full black screen after it says :

:: Wating for Udev events [BUSY]

I am using a HP compaq 2510p laptop.

Welcome to the forums berseker59.

Your problem could have something to do with Kernel Mode Setting (KMS), see the wiki page and follow the instructions on how to disable it for your video card.

Please report back here if disabling KMS did/didn't work for you. smile

Did you try booting into Windows again for a couple hours to see if the problem returns?
