Boot messages

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5

Because of bug 548108 I had to install and boot my system with kernel parameter "acpi=ht". 

Whenever I boot I get messages like on the attached picture (the fsck message of course differ. Proper disk unmouting at shutdown doesn't work either - separate bug report)

When it reaches  "Starting udevd", "Loading drivers, configuring devices" the boot process hangs for more than three minutes.

Even with "acpi=ht" openSUSE - on another partition of the same computer - boots normally without delay.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot system with "acpi=ht"
2.Press <ESC> to see boot messages

Actual Results:  
System nangs at "Starting udevd", "Loading drivers, configuring devices"
Boot contunues after about 3 minutes

Expected Results:  
Boot process without major delay

I am not sure whether the problems regarding hang of sane-fine-scanner reported in bug 559046 are caused by the problem reported here.
Comment 6 Forgotten User 7Vd19u3Vod 2009-11-29 17:49:51 UTC
Clarification to original report

 4th paragraph:
Even with "acpi=ht" openSUSE - on another partition of the same computer -
openSUSE 11.1 boots normally without delay.

What version of the kernel are you running? You need to be running  2.6.31.12-0.1 or higher.
Comment 12 len weiss 2010-02-16 20:30:09 UTC
uname -r gives  2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop
I just see no errors in any logs.
I can't see what driver it's trying to load , but, can't!
I've tried all the tricks in my bag but nothing helps.
I noticed a different fstab 11.0 used /dev/mapper/nvidia.......
11.2 uses /dev/disk-by-id/raid-nvidia.......
The system is a gateway fx5642s, w/vista.

Len- Please file a new bug against openSUSE and provide the hwinfo for your machine. This doesn't seem related to this bug.
