Package: udev Version: 0.103-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Machine tracks Debian Sid somewhat intermittently. Running stock kernel. On update to 17/1/2006 state of Debian Sid I noted that the initrd images was updated. The installation requested hotplug be purged. So I ran "apt-get --purge remove hotplug" before continuing. On rebooting the machine got stuck after mounting the ReiserFS filesystem error was; Buffer I/O error on device hdc1 logical block 26255 (apologies for obvious reasons I couldn't cut and paste the error). This error then repeated with different block numbers. I was able to reboot using the sarge kernel 2.6.8-2.386 which had been left over from installation, copy the "initrd.img-2.6.15.bak" over the "initrd.img-2.6.15" (after first saving it to a safe place), and the system them booted as expected. If you need me to test any specific software configurations on this hardware please advise. The box in question can be spared for Debian related testing and development as required. I haven't explicitly tested the hard disk for errors, but I've no reason to doubt the problem wasn't caused by the upgrade. The box is exhibiting other problematic behaviour at the time, however that is believed to be application level software issues (OpenOffice). Will update this report if any hardware issues are found in testing. The update included a large number of other packages, but a diff of the initrd images suggests that udev is responsible for the majority of the difference in that areas. -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2006-02-09 23:02 020_permissions.rules -> ../permissions.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-02-09 23:02 udev.rules -> ../udev.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2007-01-22 19:26 z20_persistent-input.rules -> ../persistent-input.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-02-09 23:02 z20_persistent.rules -> ../persistent.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 698 2007-01-22 20:01 z25_persistent-cd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 436 2007-01-22 19:31 z25_persistent-net.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2007-01-22 19:26 z45_persistent-net-generator.rules -> ../persistent-net-generator.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2006-02-09 23:02 z50_run.rules -> ../run.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-02-09 23:02 z55_hotplug.rules -> ../hotplug.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-02-26 17:39 z60_alsa-utils.rules -> ../alsa-utils.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2006-08-06 13:46 z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules -> ../xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-01-22 19:26 z75_cd-aliases-generator.rules -> ../cd-aliases-generator.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-01-22 19:30 z99_hal.rules -> ../hal.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/fd0/dev /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hdc/dev /sys/block/hdc/hdc1/dev /sys/block/hdc/hdc2/dev /sys/block/hdc/hdc3/dev /sys/block/ram0/dev /sys/block/ram10/dev /sys/block/ram11/dev /sys/block/ram12/dev /sys/block/ram13/dev /sys/block/ram14/dev /sys/block/ram15/dev /sys/block/ram1/dev /sys/block/ram2/dev /sys/block/ram3/dev /sys/block/ram4/dev /sys/block/ram5/dev /sys/block/ram6/dev /sys/block/ram7/dev /sys/block/ram8/dev /sys/block/ram9/dev /sys/class/drm/card0/dev /sys/class/graphics/fb0/dev /sys/class/input/input0/event0/dev /sys/class/input/input1/event1/dev /sys/class/input/input1/mouse0/dev /sys/class/input/input2/event2/dev /sys/class/input/mice/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/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/pcmC0D1p/dev /sys/class/sound/seq/dev /sys/class/sound/sequencer2/dev /sys/class/sound/sequencer/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev1.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev4.1/dev -- Kernel configuration: -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1001, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libvolume-id0 0.103-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip udev recommends no packages. -- debconf information: udev/new_kernel_needed: false udev/reboot_needed:
