Darius Shade, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-full-computer-model needs-upstream-testing regression-potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931877 Title: Task udevadm:X blocked at boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The 3.0.0-16 kernel is unable to boot due to udevadm hanging. I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, but when i try to boot ubuntu, it drops to BusyBox complaining about giving up waiting on the root device. ls /dev shows that the device file for my hard drive is not there. Adding "rootdelay=300" to the boot arguments allows my hard drive to be seen after approximately 4 minutes and the boot can continue fine. An inspection of /var/log/syslog shows that the udevadm task is being "blocked" at boot for a long time (see attachment). It seems to be related to ACPI as "acpi=off" allows me to boot normally, however any other acpi boot options, such as acpi=ht, acpi=noirq, and so forth do not fix the problem, and udevadm still hangs.
