I think it should be the last component appeared. "input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input10"

is that an external component or internal?

Hmm... Would anybody have any suggestions on finding what hardware causes the delay?

It looks like some of our hardware is not recognised at boot time.
similar to my external hard drive, sometimes, it just hangs there until i unplug my hard drive, then it works fine.

Hi,

For several months now I've had my laptop boot delayed because udev likes to hang for 30 seconds after its execution on startup. I have a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop and am currently using Lenny.

My rcS.d is:

S01glibc.sh
S02hostname.sh
S02mountkernfs.sh
S03udev
S04hibernate
... others ...

The "critical" part startup goes like this:

[    9.437162] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.3[B] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[    9.466025] ACPI: Video Device [VID2] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)

[   10.305299] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input10

HANGS FOR ~30s

Invalidating stale software suspend images...

Pressing Ctrl+C when it's hanged does make it go.

Any thoughts?
