Machine Dell Optiplex GX270 with 2 GB of memory.
Booting the 2200 SMP or UP kernel delays of a very long time (82
seconds) at Starting udev.
A little debugging puts the delay in /sbin/start_udev in the
wait_for_queue() proc waiting for /dev/.udev/queue. In the second while
loop. $loop reaches a value around -775. It varies a little.
>From start_udev:
wait_for_queue() {
timeout=$((${1:-0} * 10))
loop=20
while test ! -d /dev/.udev/queue; do
usleep 100000;
test "$loop" -gt 0 || return 1
loop=$(($loop - 1))
done
loop=$timeout
while test -d /dev/.udev/queue; do
usleep 100000;
if [ $timeout -gt 0 -a $loop -le 0 ]; then
echo -n "Wait timeout. Will continue in the background."
return 1
fi
loop=$(($loop - 1))
done
return 0
}
The delay does not happen with the 2187 kernel, nor on an x86_64 machine
with the 2200 kernel.
Anyone else seeing this?
