IJYTS that I've expereinced this bug and that it corrupted my root file system. However, it only happened under some very unique circumstances.
I reinstalled from sarge DVD's, then upgraded to etch pacakges. I then restored my original /etc (which I backed up to a separate partition) and rebooted, which recorrupted my root FS. (This was mid December, right around the 15th). However, if I just went forward with the new udev configuration and restored my hdparm paramters, the problem did not resurface. So I'm not sure if the problem was with one specific version of udev, or perhaps local modifications of the config files, but it was not pleasant. :( This happened with by 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 (and maybe 2.6.8?), so I don't think it's a problem with a specific kernel version but (at least for) a problem with a specific version of udev. I believe I still have my ole /etc and can supply you with lspci output or other information if you feel it would be useful. -- Itai Itai Seggev, University of Mississippi, Department of Physics and Astronomy In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create.
