Can't find anything i bugzilla, but in case this is well known, I'll
post here first.
I am usually following devel/rawhide quite tight, but for a week or two
I have not upgraded nor reboted, so I am not sure exactly when this
happened.
But now it seems like udev might need network access if nsswitch is set
up with authentication from ldap:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
This leads to the following errors:
Sep 19 15:48:36 ws21 udevstart[2042]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP
server (sleeping 4 seconds)...
Sep 19 15:48:40 ws21 udevstart[2042]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP
server (sleeping 8 seconds)...
And there it hangs until i ^C "udev_start".
(Ofcourse start_udev can't access the network so early in the boot
process).
A more or less working workaround seems to be to boot into single user
mode, ifup eth0, run udev_start manually and then go to init 5
kernel-2.6.13-1.1558_FC5
udev-069-3
nss_ldap-241-1
I'll bugzilla this later today if nobody else has already done so.
Rgds.
