Hmm. My system is an ASUS Eee PC netbook with a total of 2G memory.
The latest stall was just when booting, while /dev was to be filled
by udev (and taking a really long time on that). So I think this
patch should not help at my machine, right?

I tried to reproduce the stall, but without success. Is there anything
that could help reproducing?

Best greetings,
Jochen.
