[arch-general] kernel26-2.6.35.4-2 - Hey! No more hang on boot on module load -- cool.
Guys, Just dropping a line to let you know that I haven't had a hang-on-boot with kernel26-2.6.35.4-2. That's great. I'll keep you posted, but it looks like the issues with the last few kernels are much better. Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Chris, I have had a number of lock-on-boot issues with the past few kernels on both my laptop and test server. The information is scatters over a several month period of time on the list and in closed bug FS#20200. But basically, after updating to the 2.6.34-x kernels through 2.6.35-2, my boxes would lock when the 'module load' would take place stopping the output at "Setting up UTF-8 Mode" on the screen. (I think module load is the next step) Further, it was incredibly frustrating because if I rebuilt mkinitcpio the box would boot the '1st' time after the initramfs build, but then hang on every boot thereafter (apparently some additional config takes place on 1st boot that would cause hangs on all subsequent boots). That got better with 2.6.35-(1 or 2) or so, but then the usbhid-ups driver would cause the boot to hang for 120 sec until the timeout occurred and then boot would continue but usb would be dead (no USB mouse, no usb ups interface). The frustrating thing here was it only happened ~ 50% of the time. No config changes and ... sometimes usb would be find ... other times it would hang, timeout and fail. So far with 2.6.35-4-2 all seems to be working. I don't know the technical reasons behind the failures, but you can look at the following threads for more info: [arch-general] kernel26-2.6.34.1 - won't boot - stuck at "Setting up UTF-8 mode" [Downgrade to kernel26-2.6.34-2 OK] July 11, 2010 [arch-general] kernel26 2.6.34.2-1 ALSO hardlocks my box on boot??
