Can't find anything i bugzilla, but in case this is well known, I'll post here first. I am usually following devel/rawhide quite tight, but for a week or two I have not upgraded nor reboted, so I am not sure exactly when this happened. But now it seems like udev might need network access if nsswitch is set up with authentication from ldap: passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap This leads to the following errors: Sep 19 15:48:36 ws21 udevstart[2042]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)... Sep 19 15:48:40 ws21 udevstart[2042]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... And there it hangs until i ^C "udev_start". (Ofcourse start_udev can't access the network so early in the boot process). A more or less working workaround seems to be to boot into single user mode, ifup eth0, run udev_start manually and then go to init 5 kernel-2.6.13-1.1558_FC5 udev-069-3 nss_ldap-241-1 I'll bugzilla this later today if nobody else has already done so.
