Bug#763041: Info received (Bug#763041: udev: Booting much slower after upgrade to testing / no ppp device created)

2014-09-30 Thread Helge Kreutzmann
Hello Marco,
hello Michael,
I can confirm that setting

 udev_log="err" 
in /etc/udev/udev.conf

as suggested in #754987 "fixes" the second issue in this report,
namely booting speed is now back to normal, i.e. no visible dealy
happens anymore.

If you need further information or help to debug this issue do not
hesitate to contact me. (But may case is well covered in #754987
already).

Greetings

Helge

Thanks, indeed fixed after the upgrade.

No visible change, unfortunately.

Looks like it. I'll try the workaround, i.e. adding

  udev_log="err"

 in /etc/udev/udev.conf

And report back tomorrow.

Thanks!

This was a sysvinit specific problem which was fixed in 208-7 and 208-8
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749021

See /etc/init.d/udev: make_static_nodes().

/bin/kmod static-nodes --format=tmpfiles --output=/proc/self/fd/1
is supposed to ouput (among others)

c /dev/ppp 0600 - - - 108:0

which is then created by the script.
If that fails for you, I'd suggest you start debugging the sysv init
script by using set -x

That might be another sysvinit specific issue, namely

Hello Marco,
thanks for your ultra-fast reply.

This is the latest version in testing. I checked out why the next one
was not available and I the RC bug seems not relevant to me, so I
enabled sid and upgraded udev to 215-4. I also disabled the mknod in
rc.local.

I will report back after the next reboot (most likely tomorrow
morning).

Great. I check that tomrorow monring.

Ok. Well, this one is only asthetically.

Thanks again

Bug#763041: udev: Booting much slower after upgrade to testing / no ppp device created

2014-09-27 Thread Helge Kreutzmann
Package: udev
Version: 208-8
Severity: normal

A while ago I upgraded to testing. During the upgrade I was informed
by udev (thanks!!), that my kernel was lacking the prerequisites and
thus I compiled an appropriate kernel (I only added config option, I
did not remove any: I put the diff of them below).

The system now boots (I checked, it would not have booted with the 
previous kernel), however, with three artifacts (listed in the order
of severity):

a) the ppp device is not created. When I run pon, I got an error
message asking me to mknod the device. I put the following command for
now in rc.local:
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

b) The booting is very slow. I made some "real" screenshots (please
excuse the flash). The first shows the lines after which the booting
stops for >~ 10 seconds:
http://www.helgefjell.de/data/IMG_4705.JPG
Before the upgrade there was no notible pause here.

c) Several modules fail to load; these messages are new (and I did not
compile anything different for e.g. lp or ppdev) and I could not
notice and problems except for a).
http://www.helgefjell.de/data/IMG_4708.JPG
Before the upgrade those messages did not appear.

For b) and c) I'm not 100% sure that they relate to udev, however this
seems to be the most likely cause.

Please note that I do not use an initrd.
