It's most likely waiting for `udevadm settle` to finish. Which is taking a long time because of some hardware issues.
udevadm settle needs all the hardware events in the queue to finish before it exits. As they finish, the corresponding devices appear under /dev. You can edit /etc/init.d/udev and add a --timeout option to udevadm settle, but it won't solve the problem. If udevadm settle exits before all the events are done, some devices won't be created and you won't be able to use that piece of hardware. Usually the /dev entry is created later on, but this may disrupt the boot process (consider if those events belong to a HDD for example, and it can't be seen). Consider what you've changed in your hardware configuration and try doing some (physical) changes. I'm struggling with the same issue right now, I will post if I ever solve it or find out more about it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
