Since upgrading to udev-059 the initial populating of the /dev directory at boot time hangs for about 10 seconds after calling /sbin/udevstart. Before the upgrade there wasn't any noticable delay. Everything seems to be created fine eventually. Yet, I'm wondering why the startup time has increased dramatically. Also it seems that hald is having problems with these timeouts. As soon as the system has started up, hald is endlessly filling the logs with entries like: Jul 2 11:44:06 [hald] Timed out waiting for hotplug event 969. Rebasing to 971 Jul 2 11:44:16 [hald] Timed out waiting for hotplug event 972. Rebasing to 975 . . . ############################## # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12.2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12.2 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.9 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -frename-registers" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -frename-registers" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X a52 aac acpi alsa audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib caps cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dbus dga divx4linux dv dvd dvdread emboss encode exif fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hal imagemagick imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmap mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl shared sharedmem slang speex spell sse ssl svg tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis win32codecs wmf x86 xface xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
