Bug#593083: udev - system hangs at login screen
I also experienced this bug. I am running Squeeze, and on performing a safe-upgrade I experienced exactly the same symptoms. I managed to get a working system by following the suggested workaround (suggested by OP that is). I asked for help in Debian help forums and had no reply, asked on Linuxquestions, no reply. Eventually I tried the suggestion to update initramfs, but obviously did something wrong and ended up with a completely unbootable system. I had to wipe it and reinstall in the end. Sorry can't provide more details but I don't have the time to try to reproduce it. It is a nasty bug though clearly so I thought I should at least register my experience.

Package: udev Version: 160-1 Severity: critical Tags: squeeze sid Reproduce bug: Upgrade udev to 160-1, reboot. During booting, you will get errors saying udeverror- udev already running acpi_fakekeyd will also not run with an error message. At the login screen, mouse, keyboard will not work. If you remove and re-insert usb mouse - mouse will work again but not laptop keyboard (have not tried with usb keyboard). Solution: Boot into single user mode - cd /etc/rc2.d/ mv S02udev K02udev cd /etc/rc3.d/ mv S02udev K02udev init 6 Works fine except for some acpi problems (will file another bug report for that) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0]1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc62.11.2-2Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libudev0 160-1 libudev shared library ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-14 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii util-linux 2.16.2-0Miscellaneous system utilities ersions of packages udev recommends: ii pciutils 1:3.1.7-3 Linux PCI Utilities ii usbutils 0.87-5 Linux USB utilities udev suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf changed: blacklist evbug blacklist usbmouse blacklist usbkbd blacklist eepro100 blacklist de4x5 blacklist am53c974 blacklist iTCO_wdt blacklist ath5k -- debconf information: udev/new_kernel_needed: false udev/title/upgrade: udev/reboot_needed: -- Vikram Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
