thanks
Instead of depending on udev, which is currently optional on Linux, I
propose to only call the udevsettle command when udev is active. And
to change the udevsettle command to 'udevadm settle' as proposed by
Arnaud Launay. Here is a patch implementing this.

I am not sure this is enough, though, as the file
debian/extra/initramfs.hook include this line:
PREREQ="udev"
I did not find any explanation why it lists udev as a prerequisite.
If the udev package is required for open-iscsi to work, this patch
should solve this issue:

Happy hacking,
