 If anybody is interested, I managed to save core files from udev and
 reboot. They're attached to this mail.
 
 This renders unstable pretty much unusable for me on sparc64.

could you please check out the different klibc versions,
as the diff between 1.4.34-1 and 1.5.7-2 is huge,
so i'd really need more information to pinpoint the trouble.
 
you seem to be the first reporter to realibale be able to reproduce that.
so a binary search between the two named versions would be really helpful.

you should be able to find them all at
- deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool klibc

ah and you'd have to downgrade initramfs-tools most probably.

best regards

The regression is somewhere between 1.5.5-1 (which doesn't segfault on
the console - didn't boot with it, though) and 1.5.7-2.

1.5.6 doesn't build on sparc.

as the segfault also happens by executing /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype (for
example) on the normal console - luckily I don't need to boot every time
to figure it out.
