I've just noticed something odd: if you interrupt the initramfs before it kills udev and performs the move mount, /root/dev/ contains a ton of device entries including console, zero, null (I was expecting /root/dev/ to be empty).
As @apw has just suggested, this could well explain why I and other have not seen the problem very frequently since if either the move mount fails or udevd weirdness happens, /root/dev still contains a usable set of devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818177 Title: boot failures because 'udevadm exit' does not kill udevd worker threads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/818177/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
