delay at starting udev

delay at starting udev

[Alexey Koptsevich]

Hi,

I experience a major delay (about 5 min on dual CPU 3GHz machine, RedHat 
AS v4) at system boot-up at the point of "Starting udev:". The references 
to it I was able to find say that it was fixed in udev releases years ago. 
Is anything known about this problem?

> uname -a
Linux <...> 2.6.11.7 #2 SMP Tue Apr 19 16:46:25 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

>rpm -q udev
udev-039-10.8.EL4

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex

That version is _very_ old, so odds are it has been fixed since then :)

I suggest you ask Red Hat about this if you are having problems with
RHEL 4, as they are the ones that support it.

Good luck,
