[udev] Waiting for udev uevent ...

Hi.
I had not this problem with 2.6.31.6, but with the newer, I stay 20-50sec on the message : Waiting for udev uevents [...].
I've absolutely no idea of why I have this problem.

Anyone ?

Erh... Can't say. KMS enabled or not ?

Don't know, I don't think 'cause I never use it.
How can I verify it ?

KMS is enabled by default for Intel chipsets only in kernel26 2.6.32.2-2.

I believe KMS was enabled for Radeon chipsets in 2.6.32.2-1.  I've seen several users reporting similar problems with udev using Radeon chipsets with KMS enabled.

A quick and easy way to test is to switch back and forth between X and a tty.  If there is minimal delay (i.e., a fraction of a second), KMS is enabled.
