Welcome to Club Udev. I'm not only the President, I'm a member as well. Check bugzilla, there are some fixes for some folks, notebooks notably. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186164 Me, for my desktop that hangs, I just wait until it times out (about 2-3 minutes) and then it'll proceed to boot, at least in my case. I turn the power on, walk away to the kitchen, open the refridge, grab salami, cheese,tomatoes, lettuce, condiments... dig open some cuban bread (slicing it is so norte americano) and make a hoagie. Pop a beer, and go back into the den. If it has booted by then, at least it's running. Have a long swig and send a tip of the hat to the Master Coder for your reprieve.
