Ok well I enabled loglevel=7 and rebooted with NVidia discrete on. Everything booted okay and worked which was a surprise. I rebooted again and then it booted but my keyboard did not work. After another hard reset, it froze on waiting for uevents again at e1000e load (Ethernet driver). I rebooted and and then it froze again on another step in uevents, just further in the process. I can't seem to reproduce the exact issue to provide a good log as to what is going wrong as sometimes it works or doesnt work, and sometimes it will work without keyboard support. I know it's a strange issue, but I desperately need a machine (and a discrete video card) to work with so I'm going to backup and install another distro or os for the time being. Was a good couple year run with Arch, i'll be back someday. Thanks, -Rob On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 5:55 AM, Rob Lewis <rrl125@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks! That thread at least confirms that two others will the same laptop are having the same issue. As for what the problem is, not quite sure yet but I will try reverting to a older kernel.

I am running into an issue I have never really run into in the past with my current laptop. Upon installing arch linux I reboot and face the following issue which hangs forever during the bot process:
Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY]
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 with NVidia Optimus and I enabled NVidia Discrete mode in the BIOS. I cannot boot into my system after installation, however sometimes it will skip by this error and I will lose all keyboard input and cannot login as a result. My workaround for the moment is to
the BIOS into Optimus mode (Intel and NVidia cards are enabled) and use

Intel video driver. I have tried nomodeset during the boot process but no luck. Googling the problem i find most people get a timeout after 30 seconds to find out what is causing the problem, but my system hangs forever.
Is anyone else running into this issue or experienced enough to help me find out what the problem is? I have been running Arch since August 2011 with no issues up until now.
Any help is appreciated, -Rob
Maybe this thread can help. Many people seem to have problems with udev recently.
