Package: udev Version: 0.085-1 Severity: minor The way the ifrename_wait_retry patch tries to solve name collisions is buggy; it needs a timeout. If for whatever reason, udev got confused in the renaming (see http://blog.madduck.net/debian/2006.03.15-udev-problems.html), it will loop forever.
I suggest implementing a timeout and reverting to the old name when the timeout is reached. -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2005-12-15 00:32 020_permissions.rules -> ../permissions.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-02-02 00:55 85-pcmcia.rules -> ../pcmcia.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2005-12-15 00:32 cd-aliases.rules -> ../cd-aliases.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 2006-03-11 19:44 local-interfaces.rules -rw-rw---- 1 root root 128 2006-03-04 10:37 local-modem.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-02-18 12:20 thinkpad.rules -> ../thinkpad.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2005-12-15 00:32 udev.rules -> ../udev.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2005-12-15 00:32 z20_persistent.rules -> ../persistent.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2005-12-15 00:32 z50_run.rules -> ../run.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2005-12-15 00:32 z55_hotplug.rules -> ../hotplug.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2005-12-15 00:32 z60_alsa-utils.rules -> ../alsa-utils.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2005-12-15 00:32 z60_hdparm.rules -> ../hdparm.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-02-05 18:20 z60openct.rules -> ../openct.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2005-12-15 00:32 z70_hotplugd.rules -> ../hotplugd.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2006-02-05 19:05 z99_local-egate.rules -> ../local-egate.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/block/hda/hda3/dev /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev /sys/block/hda/hda6/dev /sys/block/hda/hda7/dev /sys/block/hda/hda8/dev /sys/block/hda/hda9/dev /sys/block/ram0/dev /sys/block/ram1/dev /sys/block/ram10/dev /sys/block/ram11/dev /sys/block/ram12/dev /sys/block/ram13/dev /sys/block/ram14/dev /sys/block/ram15/dev /sys/block/ram2/dev /sys/block/ram3/dev /sys/block/ram4/dev /sys/block/ram5/dev /sys/block/ram6/dev /sys/block/ram7/dev /sys/block/ram8/dev /sys/block/ram9/dev /sys/class/drm/card0/dev /sys/class/drm/card1/dev /sys/class/input/input1/event0/dev /sys/class/input/input19/event1/dev /sys/class/input/input19/mouse0/dev /sys/class/input/input20/event3/dev /sys/class/input/input20/mouse1/dev /sys/class/input/input3/event2/dev /sys/class/input/mice/dev /sys/class/misc/agpgart/dev /sys/class/misc/device-mapper/dev /sys/class/misc/hpet/dev /sys/class/misc/hw_random/dev /sys/class/misc/nvram/dev /sys/class/misc/psaux/dev /sys/class/misc/rtc/dev /sys/class/misc/vmmon/dev /sys/class/ppp/ppp/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp/dev /sys/class/sound/audio/dev /sys/class/sound/audio1/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC0/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC1/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp1/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer1/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D3c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D4p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev1.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.2/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev4.1/dev -- Kernel configuration: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-12 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.3.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libselinux1 1.28-4 SELinux shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.0-15 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-80 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.4-5 The GNU sed stream editor udev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
