My Machine with Intel-Haswell-CPU and MSI Z87 MPOWER Mainboard hangs during init phase. Some weeks before booting the machine ran clean through init phase. Not it hangs forever after posting "waiting for udev events". When I press Strg-C I come over this point. But than I have to login an start udev manually. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start machine Actual Results: hang during init phase with messsage "Waiting for uevents to be processed". It comes from /etc/init.d/udev Expected Results: Should not hang during boot time. haswell init.d # emerge --info Portage 2.2.14 (python 2.7.8-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.8.3, glibc-2.20, 3.17.4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.17.4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i5-4670_CPU_@_3.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 16121600 total, 322604 free KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free Timestamp of tree: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 04:45:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.24 distcc 3.2rc1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.3_p30-r1 dev-java/java-config: 2.2.0 dev-lang/perl: 5.20.1-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.8, 3.3.5-r1 dev-util/cmake: 3.0.2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.13.6 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.11.6, 1.14.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.24-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.8.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.8 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.3-r2 sys-devel/make: 4.1-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.17-r1 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.20 Repositories: gentoo Mario ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core-avx2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=core-avx2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/data1/base/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build=n" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userpriv usersandbox usersync" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage_packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage_overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="7zip X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 avx avx2 berkdb bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cli cracklib crypt cups custom-cflags custom-cpuopts custom-cxxflags custom-optimization cxx dbus dri dvb dvd dvdr encode exif fam flac fma fortran g3dvl gdbm glitz gnutls iconv icu ilbc imagemagick imlib ipv6 jpeg kpathsea lame lcms libsamplerate lm_sensors lzo mad mmx modules mp3 multilib ncurses nls nptl ogg openal opengl openmp openvg pam pcre pdf png qt3support qt4 readline sdl semantic-desktop session smp speex spell sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype unicode usb v4l vaapi vdpau vorbis wmf x264 xcb xcomposite xine xinerama xml xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ABI_X86="64" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" APACHE2_MODULES="dav dav_fs dav_lock alias auth_basic authn_file authz_groupfile authz_host authz_user autoindex deflate dir filter ident log_config logio mime proxy proxy_http status cgi unixd access_compat socache_shmcb authn_core authz_core" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump author" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ublox ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="joystick keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" LINGUAS="de" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-5" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="x86_64" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby21" SANE_BACKENDS="genesys" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 vesa" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON #

Could be a number of things causing this. Until you find it, please keep looking.
I have no idea what could cause that behaviour. The machine only has mainboard, cpu and ram. No PCIe cards at all. Perhaps somebody can help who knows udev in detail. How is an udev event defined? Do you have some examples? And my additional question: what is the reason to wait forever for such an event? Shouldn't there be a timeout? Perhaps a second try after some time?
