no, more likely it is different issues. If /lib/dev-state/log exists - remove it (and do not forget updating to teh latest devfsd).
* Fri Jul 18 2003 Andrey Borzenkov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7.06-14mdk.2bor - patch105 - workaround for boot hanging on "finding module dependencies". Due to wrong devfsd config /dev/log timestamp has been updated which resulted in minilogd attempting to exit and flush buffers. It tried to connect to itself and hung if too many connection requests were pending. The patch sets connection timeout to 30 seconds (it was 2**31-1 before). I'll resync with -15 and upload this week ... hopefully :) patch itself attached
