I confirm this bug and just added an Open Question #16234. My details:
I upgraded Feisty to Gutsy but found Gutsy reboot hung with the message:
udevd-event[2118]: run_program : '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit
Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5 ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)
(initramfs)
On typing return or exit Gutsy continues to boot BUT my 2nd hard drive,
containing my Linux swap partition, isn't recognised (the drive also
contains two network shared ntfs partitions). Rebooting into the
2.6.20-16 kernel (left over from the Feisty installation) loaded the 2nd
drive with my Linux swap file but there were problems with X
'forgetting' the configuration file and dropping back to either a
640x480 or 800x600 safe mode resolution on reboot.
As this pc is a second machine I thought I'd experiment by wiping out
the Ubuntu upgrade, trying a fresh install instead to see if that
produced better results. Gutsy hung during the boot-up process with the
same udevd-event report stopping at the initramfs prompt and the 2nd
hard drive wasn't seen by the live CD either. Typing return or exit got
the boot to continue. I still couldn't get the 2nd hard drive recognised
from within the fresh Gutsy install either. There were a few problems
getting the restricted driver working and my splash screen was the wrong
resolution.
I re-installed Feisty, left it as a vanilla install (no n-Vidia
restricted driver, sharing or any extra packages) and updated the
system. All running smoothly. Rebooted and ran a system upgrade to Gutsy
again - same problem, hanging at the udevd-event but this time the code
was [2124] and no 2nd hard drive with Linux swap! Looking at other posts
I tried booting into the 2.6.22-14 kernel and ran 'sudo update-initramfs
-u' but the problem persisted.
Deciding to check /etc/fstab and /dev I think I may have discovered
where the problem lies but am unsure how to fix it. Both fstab and /dev
list my hard drives and partitions as hdax or hdbx NOT the now more
common sdax or sdbx, There are no references to sd's in /dev although I
believe initramfs is looking for drives with the 'sd' prefix in /dev (I
only have hd's), despite how they are configured in fstab or /dev.
Can anyone help me please?
