This sound very much like the udev version skew reported in #586404. This causes every call to 'udevadm settle' to take 3 minutes. Solution unknown, but a workaround is to kill and start udevd using the shell in tty2. > I initially chose "xen-blkfront" but this had no effect apart from to > return me to the same screen.

Perhaps this is related to the udev version skew too? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
