error due to udev update?

[L]

Hi
my system is F11 (Linux  2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Jul 7
20:45:17 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) on HP NX5000. It doesn't
have floppy.

This morning, after update, the system boot was extremely slow. I
found it hanged at "start udev ....".

The update include udev
Jul 24 08:20:42 Updated: udev-141-4.fc11.i586

following are error from /var/log/messages

Jul 24 11:41:36  kernel: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M

How to fix this?

I don't have floppy, is there way to disable modprobe floppy?

best
