2nd NIC hangs udev

[Gene Czarcinski]

This is on a F11 x86_64 host WITHOUT virt-preview.

This happens with F11 and F9 guests (both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures).

Installing and bootup works fine with the default NIC.  But, when I add a 
second NIC (such as a privately network), I hang for a long time at Starting 
udev.

The NICs mostly specify a "virtio" device but this also occurs if you specify 
something else.  Both NICs use the same device type.

At first I thought I was really hung but waiting a long time (at least a 
minute) breaks free and everything proceeds normally.

This does not happen on real hardware ... I have one system with two NICs and 
another with three NICs are n\there are no "long pauses".

Any ideas??

That is very strange, indeed.

Perhaps try changing udev_log to debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf and
reboot? Basically, we need to figure out exactly what is hanging

Perhaps best to just file a bug
