It is complete same behaviour also on USB floppy disk drives (those were the ones, which didn't survive. The SCSI floppy disk drive does not spin up without disk inserted. By the way I am looking for a cheap 5.25" SCSI FDD.. they exist, but are traded for horrific prices.. ;) without ISA and FDC I do not know how to get my old drives working..
I'm confused. I thought it was SCSI drives that were failing? Now they're working but USB drives are failing? Which is it? maybe, we got a bit off the topic. Problem are not non-working drives, but

Also are some tasks slowed down, waiting for something udevd does, extreme example is calling yast bootloader.. which takes several (tens?) minutes.
This is important, I changed the subject line accordingly. It is very different the kernel being unable to access as compared to udev triggering reads or motor on continuously. Now, how do you know this is what is happening? You posted this:

I see udev trying, then kernel failing. :-? Did you try login in a different desktop? Perhaps close the graphical session, and try in text mode? Enter a line in fstab for the floppy, no-auto? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
