Hi,
During boot services are being started and 'devfsd', the first service,
does not finish on recent 2.5 kernels.
My devfsd version is: v1.3.25
(Which works fine with 2.4.x kernels.)
I have tried earlier 2.5 kernels like 2.5.2 but they had 'other
problems'.
2.5.6-dj2 seemed to work fine.
(I ran into other problems regarding my mouse but that is another
story..)
2.5.7-vanille: devfsd does not finish
2.5.7-dj1: devfsd does not finish
2.5.7-dj2: devfsd does not finish
Attached you will find my config file.
Yours,
Luuk van der Duim
I can confirm this for 2.5.7 vanilla
I havent had the time to compile the kernel witout devfs support,
maybe that is souficient. However my config is here:

Interesting. How about plain 2.5.6: does devfsd hang there as well?
Also check 2.4.19-pre5 both with and without devfs-patch-v199.11.
Since there appears to have been some change that has broken things,
you'll need to narrow down the particular pre-patch that caused the
breakage. Also, I'll need to see a list of processes currently running
when the hang occurs, plus an strace of devfsd.
