Maybe it's not udev but the next thing after udev runs. Have you tried
booting without "rhgb quiet"? More messages might show up.
I assume that you are still running the original kernel, and not the
problematic 2107 kernel.
I seem to remember that "rhgb quiet" is already in the kernel line...
so yes. Also, i just downloaded the latest DVD image and installed
that - so what ever kernel that installed by default.
Hmmm...
