Downgraded to 138-1 Copied auto-gen initrd to a temporary one and setup a grub line to boot that.
Edited /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules to remove the 'watch' lines. regenerated initrds (which then become the defaults). Results: ppa-2 == Boots (already inside it before I started this series of tests) 138-1 == Problem reproducible (TESTED with watch in the initrd and WITHOUT WATCH on the hard drive rulset. ) 138-1 -watch == Boots normally (Now my default, tested before the 138-1...) -- [jaunty] doesn't boot anymore after udev upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332270 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
