Reopening this bug report is correct. I won't play re-open tag with you, though I hope you will consider re-opening the bug. Just checking for devtmpfs in /proc/filesystems is not enough.

However, I believe your fix won't work on my system. chant@zbz:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep DEVTMP CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y # CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not set this configuration was enough to cause the problem. That doesn't make sense. The reference you quoted is aborting the upgrade if DEVTMPFS is missing, which isn't in your case. So re-opening this particular bug report is wrong. I assume you have no initramfs and and outdated /etc/init.d/udev. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As-mentioned, using the kernel from which I ran this: chant@zbz:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep DEVTMP CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y # CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not set I got a system which didn't load any modules and which failed to boot, same symptoms as the initial bug. I would hope you would be more cautious and careful when considering reports that you're making people's systems unbootable. Erring on the side of caution and all that on such an important package.
