How to reproduce:
install i386 server in vmware. select autopartitioning with lvm
make sure to have strace and a console available.

the process seems to hang in calculating partitions (60% or there about)

on console check ps ax
and strace the lvcreate command:

nanosleep({1, 530000000}, NULL) = 0
stat64("/dev/mapper/sunfire-swap_1", 0xfffe6ce0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

tons of those until:
  Rendezvous with udev timed out for 'sunfire-swap_1'; stat failed: No such file or directory
  Logical volume "swap_1" created

and the device appear in /dev/mapper.
