3 minutes boot delay due to udev worker timeout in linux-5.6-bpo kernel
by deepclutch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54Y9S)
With linux 5.6.0-0.bpo.2-amd64, while booting it is stuck at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated...(time out)".
There is no such issue with kernel -4.19.0-9-amd64. I am just trying the latest kernel and wonder if any module is missing? Attached is the diff result comparing 4.19.0-9 and 5.6.0-0.bpo.2 kernels.
System running on openRC + eudev etc.
This is the message when I shutdown the system:
Code:Currently running processes (pstree): init-*-rc--openrc---openrc-run---sendsigs---pstree *-udevd---3*[udevd] Killing all processes... : worker [xyzab]
failed while handling '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:09:00:0/usb4/4-0' udevd worker [xxxx]
failed while handling '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:09:00:0/usb3/3-0:1-0'
I am not sure where to look into, to find the problem. BTW, I've tried other 5.x kernels and the problem persists.
