Just adding that I tried heaps of clocksource= options (acpi_pm,htc,jiffies,rtc) and none of them helped this issue.

That clocksource message is probably unrelated - I get similar messages after successful boot. Eric didn't get those, but got a message about his keyboard being detected. It is normal that kernel messages appear here after control has been passed to userspace - the problem is that userspace hangs.
FTR, my message was: Loading udev... input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as ... It stucked there for a few minutes then proceeded with "Alarm clock Done" etc, etc. Only dm_mod was loaded so it failed mounting the root partition and dropped me in a recovery shell. I haven't tried udevadm or modprobe but udevd was running and lsmod was working. I sent my broken image to Thomas and everything was there. Very strange.
If you have the time and energy, can you add "echo" calls to /lib/initcpio/hooks/udev to find out if the udevd --daemon, udevadm trigger or udevadm settle is the place where is hangs. I would guess the latter, but I don't know for sure.
