Same problem here, ML350 G5 Funny thing is that after the update from 11.04 to 11.10 i had no problems booting, just no network as described in bug 842560. Booted without network about 3-4 times with succes.
To try and fixed that i upgraded the firmwares using the hp firmware CD 930. (which seems to work with a 11.10 desktop boot CD). After this i ran into the killing modprobe / read-only fs problem. And i didn't get the system to boot correctly once since then. Since everything was backed up i decided to start with a clean 11.10 install, but ran in to the same problem. Tried to replace the 'udevadm control --exit' in /scripts/init- bottom/udev with 'pkill udevd', but it has no effect. Guess trying to downgrade firmware's is next, but since hp only supplies seperate windows packages that will take a while... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818177 Title: boot failures because 'udevadm exit' times out while udevd waits for an already-dead thread To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/818177/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
