 Well, on two systems I have almost 100% reproducible case of system
 hanging at several well defined points. They are
 
 - rc.sysinit when pam_cconsole_apply is called
 - sound loading when pam_console_apply is called from devfsd.conf for
 sound devices
 - logon when pam_console_apply is called by PAM.
 
 All of them show mostly the same trace as I already sent. It looks like
 it should be sent to kernel list.
 
 I can eliminate two first case but not the third (at least, I do not
 want to). It appears that if you have empty /lib/dev-state system does
 not hang so I probably simply turn off this copying (and resort ti
 symlinking /dev/modem by hand :-)

Yes.  I use devfs=nomount.

 Yes.  I use devfs=nomount.

I commented out cp -a /lib/dev-state/* /dev in rc.sysinit and added
LOOKUP modem to devfsd.conf and since then I had not this problem.

This is actually devfs bug but restoring /dev as in above is evil in any
case.
