adb server takes a long time to start (~3 minutes!)(was "adb no output & not ending")

---

Problem with adb here. It doesn't end. 'adb devices' or 'adb shell' or 'adb start-server' or whatever except for 'adb' and 'adb --help' just don't end. They give out a newline or two and don't take any cpu, they seem to wait on inet_wait_for_connect and the files they have open are /dev/pts/2 and localhost port 5037. Does this make sense to anyone? I've got:

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4",ATTR{idProduct}=="0c02",SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4",ATTR{idProduct}=="0c01",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"

But the files /dev/sdb and /dev/sg2 created for device are:

brw-rw---- 1 root disk  8, 16 2010-02-15 18:11 /dev/sdb
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21,  2 2010-02-15 18:11 /dev/sg2

Even if I change these files to 0777 it doesn't work.

Anyone any ideas?

Note that I remember once it worked. One time. I'm not sure what did it.
