The first thing I'd do is try to figure out what's udev doing to trigger this panic? > r7 = 00000036 r6 = 00002285 r5 = FFFFFFF7 r4 = C0BA0D20 > [<c0089334>] (sys_ioctl+0x0/0x64) from [<c00228c0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x2c) Is there any way you can figure out which ioctl this is? Presumably udev read something from /sys that told it to mknod something in /dev. I'm not quite sure where an ioctl comes into this... If you could get a small C program that triggers the panic, and a kernel .config you built your kernel with, that would be helpful.
