udev-177-3 (in testing) should work around the broken drivers for now. You will probably still see some slowdown as there is a 30 second timeout, but at least things will boot. To get things fixed properly we need to file bugs against the kernel. I know that the network guys are aware of their problems, but if anyone finds problems in other subsystems it might be worth speaking up about. Thanks to Gerdardo for lots and lots of testing!
