Bug 558428 – sys-fs/eudev: Hang on startup

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Patrick Lauer 2015-08-22 15:11:35 UTC]

For about 2-3 minutes after startup system is in a weird state where some things don't work, then suddenly recovers to a good state. syslog shows:

3.1.2

[Comment 3 Patrick Lauer 2015-08-31 09:17:28 UTC]

I'm testing a mod to alsasound init script: Wait for udev-settle

Right now I can reproduce it about one in three reboots, let's see if this helps

[Comment 4 Anthony Basile 2017-09-03 18:24:11 UTC]

reopen if this is still an issue
