On kernel boot system hangs on "waiting for uevents to be processed" with new nvidia drivers x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-343.13. If i install the old ones with "emerge =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.24" the system boots. Seems like the device creation script hangs. This system uses udev not systemd to start! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-343.13 2. reboot Actual Results: "waiting for uevents to be processed" waited 10 minutes but nothing happened. Expected Results: keep on booting solution: mask new drivers or reinstall all old by new kernel or system/world update Portage 2.2.11-r1 (python 2.7.8-final-0, default/linux/x86/13.0, gcc-4.8.3,

Please post your dmesg output in a comment.
Also, this worked fine for me so you'll have to do some more digging.
I have the same problem. But on 12th console I get this: Aug 7 15:49:29 ununbium kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce 310M GPU installed in this system is\x0aNVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 340.xx Legacy drivers. Please\x0aNVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more\x0aNVRM: information. The 343.13 NVIDIA driver will ignore\x0aNVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe... Aug 7 15:49:29 ununbium kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found! Aug 7 15:49:29 ununbium kernel: NVRM: NVIDIA init module failed! So conclusion is simple - my GPU became legacy in nVidia's eyes. lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 310M] [10de:0a70] (rev a2). I downgraded to version 337.25 (340.24 breaks hibernation, but this is for another bug report) and it works fine.
I had exactly the same problem after today's upgrade. Downgrading to nvidia-drivers-340.24 solved the problem. Gerard.
"Removed support for G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs, and motherboard chipsets based on them. Ongoing support for new Linux kernels and X servers, as well as fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 340.* legacy releases through the end of 2019." The original reporter didn't respond yet... Is this the bug all of you are seeing? If that turns out to be the case, it's probably time to update nvidia-driver.eclass with a new category of devices.
This is what I found in yesterdays /var/log/syslog: It was repeated ad nauseam.

I am quite happy with nvidia-drivers-340.24,runs fine. Thanks for your work Jeroen! Gerard.
I added a new device class for 340x based on <http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html>. Now what is puzzling me is why udev is (apparently) repeatedly calling insmod in the face of obvious failure. Is it something files/nvidia-169.07 is doing wrong?

If it matters, I'm also seeing this for another: NVRM: The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420 GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 340.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more NVRM: information. The 343.13 NVIDIA driver will ignore NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe... This is on x64. and while it probably doesn't matter, I was able to continue thru udev with no problems, i just had no graphics.

That does matter since it does hang at boot time for some users.

Downgrading to nvidia-drivers-340.24 workarounds the problem (and totally ruins the brightness of my display, but that might be my fault). Notice that you can use the panic system keys to unlock the boot process during uevents lockup (ALT+SysRq+R/E/I/S/U). It will allow you to read the "Legacy Driver" warning and check other stuffs, but the filesystems are mounted read-only thus you cannot reinstall nvidia-drivers this way.
I guess I fixed the bug with the new branch mentioned in the Summary. I don't see it as a workaround - the software version should match your hardware and any consequences of mixing the wrong software and hardware are "undefined" as it were.
