All udev does is create device nodes...it cannot effect the operation of the device or cause the system to hang. I suspect a hardware problem appeared at the same time as your update. What if you unplug the device while the system is hung? Does it clear up? Have you tried other USB disks? How about other USB devices, like printers or scanners? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
