Hi,
Having udev disable itself on reboot and leaving the system
non-functional is not an acceptable solution. Most systems have
multiple kernel images installed, having only some of them working,
and breaking the whole system if the system boots some other image (I
have unstable, stable, old, and new images; having only my unstable
image bootable is not acceptable). Especially considering a machine
booting remotely into older kernel versions be default.
The solution, of course, is blindingly simple: do what lvm has
done for ages. Ship the old and the new versions of udev; and select
the version to run based on the running kernel image.
I should not have to remind people that partial upgrades from
Sarge also should be supported -- even partial upgrades for udev.
So, even after 2.6.12 is installed, this bug shall remain
critical, unless a solution is put into place.
