2.6.38 is working fine on my PowerBook G4 (powerpc) and has none of
the issues described below.
Last week I tried 2.6.39-rc2 and it hung on reboot.
Same thing with 2.6.39-rc3 this week.
I've tracked this down to the "udevadm settle" in /etc/init.d/udev
(from Debian squeeze).
If I am patient it does timeout after 180 seconds and continues
booting. But after booting finishes udev is still chewing CPU cycles
and load average is stuck at 1.
After the system is up:
# udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

I tried using the CDROM drive and it actually does work (as /dev/hdb).
So the only real problems are the 180 second hang while booting and
the interrupt storm and udev event storm that continues.
Any hints?

I noticed this hang on udevadm settle too. I'm temporarily working around
it by adding udevtimeout=5 to the command line. I haven't looked into it any further.

On my system I bisected these constant change notifications to 929e27252e
'ide: ide_requeue_and_plug() reinstate "always plug" behaviour' [1] but
haven't looked any past that.

On my system, I'm not noticing anything strange here, but I'm not using the
CDROM drive:

I have tried 2.6.39-rc4 and the same problem still exists.
(And the rate of the interrupt storm is over 300 interrupts per
second. I misstated that as over 1300 interrupts per second in my
initial report, but the while loop output that I included accurately
shows the rate of the interrupt storm.)

I tested 2.6.39-rc5 today and this bug appears to be fixed.... no
delay on bootup, "udevadm monitor" shows no spurious events, and
monitoring /proc/interrupts I see no ide-related interrupt storm.
I added a comment at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33412
but I could not figure out how to mark this bug closed/fixed, even
though I was logged in.
Please mark this bug closed and/or fixed (in 2.6.39-rc5).
