Machine Dell Optiplex GX270 with 2 GB of memory. Booting the 2200 SMP or UP kernel delays of a very long time (82 seconds) at Starting udev. A little debugging puts the delay in /sbin/start_udev in the wait_for_queue() proc waiting for /dev/.udev/queue. In the second while loop. $loop reaches a value around -775. It varies a little. >From start_udev: wait_for_queue() { timeout=$((${1:-0} * 10)) loop=20 while test ! -d /dev/.udev/queue; do usleep 100000; test "$loop" -gt 0 || return 1 loop=$(($loop - 1)) done loop=$timeout while test -d /dev/.udev/queue; do usleep 100000; if [ $timeout -gt 0 -a $loop -le 0 ]; then echo -n "Wait timeout. Will continue in the background." return 1 fi loop=$(($loop - 1)) done return 0 } The delay does not happen with the 2187 kernel, nor on an x86_64 machine with the 2200 kernel. Anyone else seeing this?
