(a) Linux kernel guys think that a hardcoded timeout is a systemd bug. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/23/42
(b) The systemd guys think that kernel module loading takes more than 30 seconds is a kernel module's bug. But Linux kernel guys won't be able to fix it immediately. Also, solution by updating firmware won't be acceptable because there will be users who can't update firmware for some reason. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd- devel/2014-March/018007.html The systemd guys suggest that adding OPTIONS+="event_timeout=120" to udev rules might help, but I don't think it will help. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/22/207 (c) The LVM guys added OPTIONS+="event_timeout=180" before commit 786235ee was merged into Linux kernel. http://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm- devel/2013-September/msg00036.html (d) I tried to rebuild systemd package with longer timeout but I was unable to build it without build failures. Therefore, I opened a bug report in order to ask for systemd package with longer timeout, but no response so far. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1297248 Well, it is unlikely that this situation is solved within 7 days. I think that applying the patch in comment #48 as a "[trusty] UBUNTU: SAUCE:" patch is the safest choice for 14.04 LTS kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276705 Title: Kernel 3.13 fail to boot with LSI SAS1068E (Dell SAS 6/iR) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1276705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
