Package: udev Version: 0.074-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
udev uses unix sockets. if those not available the system end in a state where the dev directory is empty and nothing works rebooting to single usermode with init=/bin/bash and adding the following line as first in the startup part of the init.d script solves this problem. ## fixes the unix socket problem modprobe unix ofcourse this doesn't help when there are no unix sockets available and the is no module. The startup script should check for those conditions before mounting an empty /dev partition in place. regards Robbert -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20 Jul 27 10:23 020_permissions.rules -> ../permissions.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Oct 19 15:32 025_libgphoto2.rules -> ../libgphoto2.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 11 09:08 025_libsane.rules -> ../libsane.rules lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19 Jul 27 10:23 cd-aliases.rules -> ../cd-aliases.rules lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Jul 27 10:23 udev.rules -> ../udev.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 7 15:29 z20_persistent.rules -> ../persistent.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 28 12:48 z50_run.rules -> ../run.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 19 15:41 z55_hotplug.rules -> ../hotplug.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 22 15:00 z60_hdparm.rules -> ../hdparm.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 28 12:48 z70_hotplugd.rules -> ../hotplugd.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/block/hda/hda3/dev /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev /sys/block/hdb/dev /sys/class/input/event0/dev /sys/class/input/event1/dev /sys/class/input/event2/dev /sys/class/input/event3/dev /sys/class/input/mice/dev /sys/class/input/mouse0/dev /sys/class/input/mouse1/dev /sys/class/misc/agpgart/dev /sys/class/misc/device-mapper/dev /sys/class/misc/hpet/dev /sys/class/misc/psaux/dev /sys/class/misc/rtc/dev /sys/class/printer/lp0/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp/dev /sys/class/sound/audio/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC0/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev1.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.3/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev4.1/dev -- Kernel configuration: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.1-pundit.13 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-5 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.8-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii lsb-base 3.0-11 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-79 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.4-4 The GNU sed stream editor udev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
