[SOLVED] Boot stalls , udev error

teateawhy · 2012-05-07 15:19:51

Hi,

booting my arch system has become annoying since it stalls for about 20 seconds after the message:

Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY] udevd[352]: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1
(taken from boot log)

EDIT: SOLVED
I had a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ containing a " wait for " condition. Deleted the file.-> Solved.

This won't be much help, but I had a very similar problem on my laptop (Asus G37jh) when I booted with a particular version of udev (I believe 182). It would get stuck on a similar boot message when it was looking for my wimax device. There was nothing I could find that could fix the problem other than not using that version of udev. However, this is NOT a recommendation to downgrade/upgrade your udev, you should wait for someone who is more familiar with that kind of stuff to speak about it, because I still don't understand what happened.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. Udev is one of those magical, mystical areas that I know virtually nothing about. Perhaps someone will come along and fix your problem so we can BOTH learn more about it.

Ok thanks for the warning about downgrading.
You were right, it is version udev 182-2.

Still the same hang with kernel 3.4 and systemd-tools instead of udev.
However i can only see the message from logs and not on boot.
