Hi Akemi,

Thanks for testing.

I had other users reporting this problem with SL5.1 and SL5.2 LiveCD. It
seems to be really hardware dependent. For the users I know the problem
went away using SL 5.4. I don't know how often this happens and whether
the problem is back again in SL5.5 LiveCD. As far as I remember the
problem did not happen all the time. It was not reproducible. However,
it seems to be reproducible on your system...? In the cases I know, udev
was hanging running "/lib/udev/udev_run_hotplugd". Could you please test
the following on your system - if possible ;-)

- is the centos livecd working?
- is the SL 5.5. 32bit LiveCD (or LiveDVD) working?

Thanks a lot,

    Urs
