After installing udev 026-r1 and baselayout 1.9.4-r2, I rebooted and the boot process hanged doing Hotplug PCI (Hotplug USB worked fine). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. 3. Actual Results: Hotplug hanged Expected Results: System should boot. I'm using a pure udev system, with a gentoo-development 2.6.5 kernel. I'm using up to date ~x86 hotplug, udev, and baselayout. I managed to boot without starting hotplug, and launched it manually.

The system was stuck then, but did start rebooting after ctrl-alt-del (rebooting managed to stop Hotplug PCI but hanged on Hotplug USB). I'm ready to provide more informations here, but I do not know where to look.
Can you upgrade your kernel? This is not a userspace udev issue (well, it should not be...)
Also, don't worry about starting hotplug, just load the modules that you know you need to load in the modules.autoload file. Don't have the hotplug service try to autoload modules from a cold boot process.
I don't know where the issue comes from, but I also upgraded glibc yesterday (so maybe I should try to reemerge hotplug). I'm not too eager to upgrade the kernel, as it would mean moving from the gentoo-dev sources to the vanilla kernel (I'm running the latest gentoo-dev kernel, unless one was released since this morning). I can definitely live without hotplug, by the way. I just read that it was very recommended for udev systems.
The hotplug package is required for udev to work, but starting up the "coldboot" process (which is what you are really doing there) is not necessary at all. Hm, maybe I should rename that startup script to help people figure this out... Anyway, odds are it's a kernel driver issue, so upgrading your kernel should fix it. I'm going to close this bug, as it's not a udev issue at all. If you still have problems with the most recent, vanilla kernel, and it's a udev issue, please reopen it.
If it is a driver issue, then another thing that was updated very recently is the ipw2100 module. I did not really suspect it since the logs say that the tg3 module is loaded after.
