Title:
udev: init script unconditionally writes to /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The udev initramfs-tools script from trusty lts:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/udev
does not check if uevent_helper does exist and fails to boot if it is
missing - which it is in recent kernels (e.g. 4.7.2 from the mainline
ppa or modern self build kernels where it is disabled per default
afaik).
See e.g.: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756312
Its fixed in xenials version (latest LTS) but fails in current supported LTS
trusty to boot.
Please backport those simple fix:
if [ -w /sys/kernel/uevent_helper ]; then
echo > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
fi
and maybe add
udevadm settle || true
at the end to support kernels without uevent_helper enabled.
