I had the same issue on a server that has been running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS without a single problem for over two years.
After upgrading to linux-image-3.2.0-64-generic on the system with a Supermicro X9SCM mainboard, two HighPoint RocketU 1144A USB 3.0 controllers and at least one USB 3.0 disk attached, I observed the same infinite udevd loop (although the message details were different). When I disconnected all USB 3.0 disks, the system booted. My workaround was to revert to the previously installed kernel, linux- image-3.2.0-61-generic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328984 Title: [Dell PowerEdge R510] Regression: Kernel 3.2.0-64 fails to boot with USB3 controller card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328984/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
