I have a similar (same?) issue on two of my computers upgraded from precise. Two others are ok. And booting from a USB key of a daily works: it's only 50% of my _upgraded_ systems that fail.
Their hardwares are very different: one is a Dell laptop, heavily Intel- based and the other a HP Microserver which is AMD-based. If I chmod 644 udevd, the laptop does not crash, hence my search for udev-related hangs in quantal. The server does not completely crash, as hard-disk activity is visible if I connect a USB stick for example. So the behaviours vary slightly. Also, I use these systems everyday just by booting from the 3.2 kernel from their precise past... Ah, and removing all USB devices did not help the server in my case (laptop not tried.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047688 Title: Boot fails on udev if USB devices are present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1047688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
