Hi, I recognise your problem, although it doesn't occur as often for me. For me perhaps one in three of four reboots hang while starting udev.
However, I do not have any problem starting ivtv after that. If udev starts and the boot process continues, all is well and everything starts. This is with the FC5smp-2145 kernel and corresponding ivtv-kmdl from ATrpms. Stanley. > Hi, > > Ever since I'm using ivtv 0.7 I need about a dozen reboots to get udev > started.
