I'm seeing a very strange booting problem on just *one* of my cauldron systems this morning.

The system was last booted successfully on Jul23, and I have purposely not updated it because of the /usr stuff.

I verified in syslog that the only occurrences of "urpmi" from then until now are the urpmi.update -a that the applet does every 3 hours, so no updates have been applied via urpmi.

However, rebooting this morning hangs almost immediately with a message on tty0:

    udevadm settle timeout (30 seconds)
    /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0
    Starting plymouth daemon

and there it sits. It responds to CTRL-ALT-DEL and reboots immediately (no shutdown messages).

Is anyone else seeing this ?  Any idea what could have changed ?

/var/log/dmesg is timestamped as of the Jul23 boot, and the latest thing in /var/log/syslog is the shutdown messages just prior to the attempted boot, so booting isn't getting very far at all.
