Hi guys, I'm seeing several bug reports and forum threads about this, so I thought I'd ask your opinion about doing a news item: Udev delay during boot udev-176 (and later) no longer work around a certain class of kernel bugs[0]. If you are using an affected driver it means that you will encounter a 30 second delay on boot. It seems that mostly wireless drivers are affected by this. The netdev guys are aware of the issue, and are working on a solution. systemd users are largely[2] unaffected by this issue. [0]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg185742.html [1]: the bug still occurs, and the 30-second timeout still happens, but the rest of userspace will boot in parallell, unlike in initscripts where the rest of userspace will wait.
