[Bug 575333] Re: On boot keeps trying to mount "UDEVD-WORK..../dev/null"

[Lutz Andersohn]

I didn't have this bug in either form for a long time. Lately I re-profiled ureadahead and I ended up with the version of the bug that ends up in a blank screen with blinking cursor. I disabled ureadahead and my ubuntu (10.04) boots very reliably.
The few seconds extra boot time beats the aggravation of having the system hang at boot 1 out of 10 times.

My experience definitely confirms some posts above that this is a timing
issue between various processes at boot time
