Not sure this is a bug. The error: Setting up udev (204-5ubuntu20.7) ... * udev requires hotplug support, not started ...fail!
occurs in /etc/init.d/udev when the script checks for the existence of "/sys/kernel/uevent_helper" which does't exist unless the config option "CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER" was set at kernel compile time. (Open the .config file, search for CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER and set it to "y". Save the .config file and recompile the kernel and boot it. The above error should not occur. ) If recompiling your kernel is not an option, suggest the following workaround: edit /etc/init.d/udev comment out the following lines (at approx line 128-131): if [ ! -e /sys/kernel/uevent_helper ]; then log_failure_msg "udev requires hotplug support, not started" log_end_msg 1 fi The script should then run without error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377624 Title: udev fails without devtmpfs and sysvinit in OpenVZ Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Trusty: Incomplete Bug description: I'm running 14.04 LTS in an OpenVZ container.
