udev.spec has this inside:
# needed on kernels < 2.6.25
cat <<EOF >$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/udev/rules.d/05-udev-early.rules
# sysfs is populated after the event is sent
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="ioerr_cnt"
EOF
On kernels >2.6.25 (tested; dunno about 2.6.25 itself) this line causes a
10second udev hangup while booting the system. Removing it fixes the problem
and breaks nothing.
The question is whether we remove it altogether or is it possible to write a
if kernelver version of this rule? (Any udev rules magicians please step
out.)
