[gentoo-user] waiting for Godot & uevents

[Philip Webb]

My back-up box has an irritating problem, which was discussed here
in a thread which ended 080731 (msg 73690) apparently unresolved.

At boot, it says "populating /dev with existing devices thro' uevents ... ".
On this my everyday machine, it all goes successfully & very quickly,
but on the other it says "waiting for uevents to be processed"
& takes a very long time to finish whatever it's doing ( c 2 min ).
Both machines have Udev-124-r1 & I copied  /etc/udev/rules.d/*
from this one to the back-up & rebooted it, but without any change.

Was this problem ever resolved ?  Does anyone have suggestions ?
