Some patience will fix things :) Yes, I waited a while first time. No drive activity, no nothing. Keyboard was still awake though, so it wasn't a 'crash' as such. The boot just stopped there twiddling it's thumbs... Installing the latest udev though makes the machine boot so fast I can't see the 'initialising udev devices' message unless I scroll back to see in console. I thought at first I broke it, and udev wasn't working at all now and was being ignored, but it is working just fine :-) But remember, what got me was it boots fine on 2.6.11.12, insomuch I never really saw the udev message away and never had to investigate it before.
