Package: udev Version: 0.079-080+1 Severity: important udev randered my system unbootable. Here are some of the boot messages, copied by hand:
INIT: version 2.86 booting ... Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd Synthesizing the initial hotplug evetns...done Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...done(timeout) Setting parameters of disc: (none) Activating swap...failed Checking root file system... Filesystem seems mounted read only. ... fsck.ext3: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda2. Then I get a root shell. I can see that there is no /dev/hda (the boot disk), and in fact /dev contains only this: ============================ /dev: MAKEDEV@ acerhk cdrom@ console core@ disk/ fd@ hdc initctl| input/ loop/ net/ null ppp ptmx pts/ shm/ sndstat@ stderr@ stdin@ stdout@ tty0 tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 watchdog /dev/disk: by-path/ /dev/disk/by-path: pci-0000:00:1f.1-ide-1:0@ /dev/input: event2 /dev/loop: 0 /dev/net: tun /dev/pts: /dev/shm: =======================0 There is a /dev/hdc (the CD-ROM). This system is an Acer TravelMate 223X laptop. Note that I am running a custom-built kernel. By copyting over the device nodes from /dev/.static I am able to continue booting, and it even starts networking and kdm. But then I cannot login. The virtual terminals (text-mode) just disappear (there is no login prompt even), and I cannot login with kdm either (it accepts the password and then crashes).
