I had a drive that had not been used yet and had no partitions or file

problem; weird), made a partition and created a fs then rebooted and
all worked. Don't know why I was able to boot from a LiveCD in the
first place; maybe my kernel still need some fine tuning.

Thanks.

You keep saying weird. It is not weird.

What you describe is exactly the way it should work.

Without further explanation from you, I don't agree:
the machine shouldn't wait  5 min  (mine) to decide the drive is broken
 there is a puzzle why the Gentoo CD wouldn't encounter the same delay.
Your explication wb of interest to us both (smile).

The thread quoted above did not mention time. The addition of that fact 
changes everything (as it always does). The omission of time gives one a 
completely different picture of the circumstances.

 I tried to reboot and here is where I have a problem:
   *Populating /dev/ with existing devices through uevents...
   *Waiting for uevents to be processed...
   [34.7540621] Disabling IRQ #48
 It just sits there for a very long time.

I had this on my stand-by machine  discovered it was waiting
for a broken CD drive; when I unplugged the drive, all was well.

Of course, your problem cb caused by something quite different.  HTH

  I too had that problem.  I deleted 70-persistent-rules for another
  reason and rebooted which regenerated it.  Problem gone.  Just make
  sure you make a backup of it before you reboot.
  
 
 I don't understand what you did you fix it. How would I delete

 Make a backup of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent*.rules (I moved them

 delete 70-persistent*.rules (accomplished by move)
 reboot
 
 If they don't regenerate you can copy them back.  then I'd re-emerge
 udev.

 Thank you for the input. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Are you perhaps using openrc-0.25 and have rc_parallel=YES  if so
this is a known bug and just set it to NO or use a ~ version of
openrc and everything will be ok.
