To make sure it wasn't any udev background processing, I cut out all the non-essential udev rules.
I was left with just this: # ls /etc/udev/rules.d 20-names.rules 40-basic-permissions.rules 40-permissions.rules 80-programs.rules 85-ifupdown.rules 90-modprobe.rules NOTE that I explicitly removed the network device renaming rules -- the hang still occurred, so this is not a problem with device renaming. It must simply be a module loading issue. -- [regression] 2.6.27-7 sometimes fails to boot (iwl3945 issue?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
