-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can confirm this bug, it happens on my machine too. The problem shows itself only when the parameter "splashy" is passed to the kernel. If I remove it, the system boots normally, but for the bug #455685 (Splashy makes GDM initscript fail.
Symptoms are the same: splashy fails to start with error code - -3 from splashy_start_splashy(), no sound, no usbhid, no networking... Hotplugging doesn't work at all, modules aren't automatically loaded and modprobe rules aren't satisfied (i.e. I have a rule to load usbnet whith cdc_subset, but when I plug my Linux Ipaq in the cradle the module cdc_subset isn't loaded; if I probe the module manually the module usbnet isn't automatically loaded. I noted that when starting without the parameter "splashy" i can see the log line Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...done. but with splashy activated that line doesn't appear. So I guess it is a udev (odd-)interaction problem (or maybe a more complicated splashy/udev/initramfs-tool, seen problems of update-initramfs with udev...). Moreover, it happens that if I reboot and temporary delete the initrd line from GRUB (my kernel can boot without initrd, but I need it for uswsuspend), boot fails because /dev is completely screwed up.
