If you would like to confirm if udev did get upgraded, Confirmed. Udev was upgraded last december from 0.8x to 1.0.3. This was the first time the machine have rebooted since December. And I also found similar udevd breakpoint messages on /var/log/messages some minutes after that upgrade. If you feel (or confirm) that the problem is related to udev, you may want to back down to the previous version you had installed. Hopefully it's still in the tree. Well, the problem now is that the CD I had does not detect the network card, even modprobing the tulip module manually. So no card, no emerge... It is an old CD (2004.2) so now I am downloading a newer image (2006.1). I hope it works with it. I also noticed that it only can see the root partition (in read-only mode of course), but /boot (/dev/sda4) and /mnt/disk2 (/dev/sdb1) both shows as if they were empty (ls shows nothing inside them) Can you see the other partitions when booting off the CD? Before you enter the chroot environment above, make sure you mount all your partitions as you did during the install. Hopefully you can see the data and the other partitions. If not it sounds like you have may have some drive corruption. The partitions are OK. Good luck! Thanks. I just found in Google that a Debian user had a similar problem and had to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.17. I will try that once I get the imageand the network card working :-) Brett Regards, Mauro -- gentoo-hppa@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-hppa] Suddenly cannot open root partition
Guy: Kernel 2.6.15.1-pa4 udev version 103 I am using this kernel since more than a year ago so I do not think there is a problem with its config. I am not 100% sure but I believe udev had been updated a couple of days before and the problem occured after that. There is nothing suspicious on the logs, only what I wrote in my previous email. I also noticed that it only can see the root partition (in read-only mode of course), but /boot (/dev/sda4) and /mnt/disk2 (/dev/sdb1) both shows as if they were empty (ls shows nothing inside them) Thanks, Mauro On Fri, 26 Jan 2007, Guy Martin wrote: Hi Mauro, What kernel and what version of udev are you running ? Could you provide full kernel config and kernel boot logs ?

But the partition is good as I can check it, mount it, read and write on it from an install CD. dmesg shows the following: break 0,0: pid=970 command='udevd' Your system ate a SPARC! Gah! and the cow :-) udevd (pid 970). Breakpoint (code 0) The problem seems to be with udev. Any idea or workaround?
