Question Short hang during start up


my laptop hangs for a short time (30s) during this line in the boot sequence.

Triggering udev events: /usr/udevtrigger --retry-failed

Is there a way that I can see what this is taking so long to load? It may be trying to find something that is not there.

It seems the line where it hangs is in '/etc/rc.d/rc.udev':

Code:
	echo "Triggering udev events:  /sbin/udevtrigger $OPT"	
	# Call udevtrigger and udevsettle to do the device configuration:
	/sbin/udevtrigger $OPT && /sbin/udevsettle --timeout=120
you can read 'man udevtrigger' and 'man udevsettle' to see what they do.

OK, the man page for udevtrigger says that it handles cold plug devices, so I added --verbose to the global OPT variable at the top of /etc/rc.d/rc.udev to see which particular device is causing the hang. I now know that it hangs on /devices/virtual/dmi/id. I suspect that this just sitting there until the loader times out. How would I tell udev not to try loading this? I have looked in the /etc/udev/udev.conf file and all the /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules files and have found nothing pointing to /devices/virtual/dmi/id

After some more searching I have found that there is a lot of Mobo/BIOS information stored in /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/ could it be that it hangs because it has the wrong path? how would I fix that?
