Package: udevVersion: 0.074-2
Severity: grave
Since today I have a linux-2.6.12 (with mkinitrd) and linux-2.6.14 (with yaird) running in parallel on an alpha machine (Alphastation 500/500).
With udev-0.071-1 the system starts without any problems with both kernels.
When then switching to udev-0.074-2 (installed by apt-get with testing today), udevd fails to start with linux-2.6.14. The entries from syslog:
Nov 13 18:22:14 localhost udevd[8989]: main: uevent socket not available
Nov 13 18:22:14 localhost udevd[8994]: init_uevent_netlink_sock: bind failed: No such file or directory
Additionally I have a lot of occurences of the following warning with udev-0.071-1:
Nov 13 19:04:09 localhost udev[3832]: add_to_rules: invalid rule 'PROGRAM'
All this does not happen with 2.6.12. The problem is, that the new initrd system (yaird) uses udev extensively because the initrd does only loads the root file system no network drivers or other scsi dirvers. A failing udev hangs the whole boot process.
So I started the system in "emergency" mode with kernel 2.6.12 again, reinstalled old udev and set pacakage to "HOLD".
