Package: udev Version: 160-1 Severity: critical Tags: squeeze sid Reproduce bug: Upgrade udev to 160-1, reboot. During booting, you will get errors saying "udeverror- udev already running" acpi_fakekeyd will also not run with an error message. At the login screen, mouse, keyboard will not work. If you remove and re-insert usb mouse - mouse will work again but not laptop keyboard (have not tried with usb keyboard).
Solution: Boot into single user mode - cd /etc/rc2.d/ mv S02udev K02udev cd /etc/rc3.d/ mv S02udev K02udev init 6 Works fine except for some acpi problems (will file another bug report for that) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libudev0 160-1 libudev shared library ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-14 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii util-linux 2.16.2-0 Miscellaneous system utilities ersions of packages udev recommends: ii pciutils 1:3.1.7-3 Linux PCI Utilities ii usbutils 0.87-5 Linux USB utilities udev suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf changed: blacklist evbug blacklist usbmouse blacklist usbkbd blacklist eepro100 blacklist de4x5 blacklist am53c974 blacklist iTCO_wdt blacklist ath5k -- debconf information: udev/new_kernel_needed: false udev/title/upgrade: udev/reboot_needed: -- Vikram Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
