Same here with 2.6.39-rc4: udevd spinning like crazy and sometimes my 
10MB /dev filesystem seems to be filled by:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.0M Apr 21 08:17 /dev/.udev/queue.bin

accompanied by:

Apr 20 22:25:10 alice udevd[472]: error writing to queue file: No space left on device
Apr 20 22:25:10 alice udevd[472]: failed to create queue file: No space left on device

I also see the OOM killer reaping processes which were running just fine 
with 2.6.38. I also see the "hanging" bootprocess Ralf mentioned in 
#622352. Pressing CTRL-C makes it continue booting.

I suspect that it's more a kernel issue. Ralf is on 2.6.39-rc2 and said 
that 2.6.38.2 was ok, so somewhere in between something bad happened.

Christian.
