Kernel 2.6.20 and udev (hangs at boot)

Hi all,

After upgrading to 2.6.20.1 my boot process can't get past

Loading udev   ....   [busy]

It just hangs forever. Downgrading to a 2.6.19 kernel works, so I figure udev tries to load some module that does work.

Any hint to how I can get udev to act verbose during boot so I can see whats stalling it?

My box is amd64, gigabyte motherboard and gforce 5900xt graphics adapter

Cheers,

Nic

same thing happened to me. I have a compaq mini and the new kernel didn't like my broadcom wireless card. Try disabling the ssb and b43 modules and see if that works at all.
