Hi,
I switched from devfs to udev 10 days ago, and since then every
nth boot will hang at 'initializing random number generator'
It try to read a /dev/urandom, does this device node created properly by
udev. In my box, there is corresponding rules in udev setting.

grep -R 'urandom' /etc/udev/
/etc/udev/udev.permissions:urandom:root:root:0444
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:KERNEL=="urandom", NAME="%k", MODE="0444"
I would say 'yes it is there' ;)
Hm, one more: it does not matter, if it is a coldboot, or a reboot. Sometimes
it hangs. sometimes it hangs not.
It must be a problem with the urandom driver in your kernel because the urandom(4)
manpage says that "A read from the /dev/urandom device will not block waiting for
more entropy".
