Hi! I just noted that after having problems accessing my IDE drive (a IDE-Writer, reading from scd0 seems to lockup my machine, but I don't use the current cooker... (kernel 2.4.17.5mdk)) I never come beyond the famous "Loading compose keys:"... message without manually deleting /lib/dev-state. Can annyone confirm if this happens in current cooker (i.e. without clean shutdown "rebooting" hang on startup) ? I'm using the latest devfs, pam, initrd, mkinitrd and console-tools from cooker but not the whole system currently.
If yes, please either clean up /lib/dev-state after a crash (or at least the file causing the hangs), clean up /lib/dev-state after each reboot if that is not possible or do not use devfs. If no, it has to be my current kernel causing this strange problem.
