Package: udev Version: 0.103-1 Severity: critical Tags: d-i Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi, a week ago i did go to reboot an Apple XServe G5, which was in a datacenter. What was not my surprise to see that it didn't come back online. The machine had an sata_svw based sata controller, and is using a 2.6.18 debian kernel, and has a LVM on RAID setup. After some infuriating wait time and initramfs-tools archeology, i found out that the problem was due to initramfs-tools trying to bring up the RAID/LVM before the disks finished mounting, and thus failed to find the devices. I discussed the issue with Maximilian Attems, and he said he had also seen a similar issue, with a LVM/RAID on usb disks setup, and mentioned it was caused by : "udevsettle has a buggy kernel<->userspace seqnum interface with the scsi code". Today i went to the datacenter again, and tried a clean install, and the same problem happens in d-i. The module is loaded, but the /dev/sd* devices are not created. Creating them by hand work, but then the system freezes during base-installation, and i don't really know why. I took the system home, for easier investigation, so let's take this oportunity to fix this issue now.
