The answer is that udev should really be blocking hotplug now, at least in the newer versions (~arch is up to 104-r2, tho it looks like stable amd64 is clear back on 87-r1), but isn't for some reason. Try unmerging hotplug and remerging udev, and see if that solves the issue. It has for others. The one thing that you might lose that way is autodetect and early setup of your network, but most folks don't seem to have a problem with that, as it's picked up later in the boot cycle anyway. (The problems in fact seem to generally be that hotplug is trying to setup networking too early, when there is a problem, so again, getting it out of there fixes the problem.) In any case, it's not as if hotplug is a long merge, if unmerging it doesn't work for you, but the reports are all good that I've seen, and certainly I've experienced no issues unmerging hotplug here, altho I'm running ~amd64 so likely have newer versions of a lot of stuff than stable amd64 users do. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
