Details

For example:

$ grep settle /etc/rc.sysinit
/sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=10

this is known udev issue. In my case source of this problem is airo driver for cisco aironet 350 PCI card.

Otherwise it hangs on "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed".
This task depends upon

The default is 180 seconds, so it doesn't "hang". The issue with not waiting for udev is that it will cause problems on older slow systems that need quite some time to process all udev events.

I did not wait 3 minutes. Can it really work 3 minutes on i686 system?

or tunable via conf file.
