Package: udev
Version: 0.076-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I installed udev; I did *not* purge /etc/hotplug, as requested during install,
because I noticed that udev actually uses information in /etc/hotplug.
When I attempt to boot 2.6.12 I get a kernel panic:
/sbin/init: 432 cannot create /dev/null
/sbin/init: 433 cannot open dev/console
Kernel panic -- not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I get this problem with 2.6.12 when I attempt to boot with udev on and devfs
off; and I can't boot under 2.6.14 at all.
I thought the problem might be my DELAY=10 and/or BUSYBOX, but when I try a
boot image with DELAY=0 I get the same problem.
My /dev shows all the /dev/vc* files I would expect as well as all the
/dev/tty* files I would expect.
(The "local_rules" file below mounts a flash drive or an iRiver mp3 player when
it's plugged into USB. It works without any problems.)
I created a /dev/.static with console, null, and zero in it, but that doesn't
seem to make any difference.
I expect that this is all a user error, but I haven't found any explicit
migration information from devfs to udev. Am I supposed to rm /dev/*, for
example? It's a bit of mystery, and of course if I rm /dev/* I'm not clear how
I'd get it back if I have to go backwards to devfs.

You do not understand how udev and/or hotplug work.

Not an udev bug, this is some initrd/initramfs/whatever issue.
I suggest a google search before filing other bugs.

It's supposed to just work, and usually it does. Read README.Debian.
