hey, folks. so we have a potential beta blocker in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735866
but there's a couple of questions.
so, the bug manifests itself as startup being slow, as 'udevadm settle',
run by the 'udev-settle' service, fails to complete and times out after
two minutes. But I found a possible more serious consequence: if you hit
this bug, the live installer won't start up, because it also runs
'udevadm settle', and won't continue until it sees that command succeed
- which, if you're hitting this bug, it seems like it never will.
The bug seems to be not 100% reproducible: it occurs on some boots but
doesn't on others. It seems to vary across systems, too.
So, I need a couple of data points:
1) have you seen this bug booting F16 lives on your systems? If so, how
often do you see it vs. not seeing it? 50/50? 30/70? 70/30? 90/10?
2) if you see the bug, can you confirm that on boots which are affected,
the live installer will not run?
thanks!
