udev

[Elan Ruusamäe]

is the hotplug issue by any chance related to the fact that after booting i 
got on screen message "starting udev" and it stays there forever stopping 
maching bootup. can't even kill it with SAK.

usually (happened before too), i boot with init=/bin/sh and run 'start_udev&' 
once from commandline. and after that start udev hung dissapears.

but today this trick didn't work because i couldn't send any input to started 
shell!!!, i guess this is because my /dev is empty and no udev started.
