Dear all,
I red this afternoon to install a "testing" (wheezy) system (amd64,
FWIW) via netinst (on CD-ROM) and managed to get an (almost) unusable
system : after boot, I have no keyboard, no mouse ; I see a "failed !"
message relative to udev scrolling (fast !) during the boot process.
This led me to login through network (thanks to ssh), and to
explore /var/log/messages (little help...) and the bug reports, where I
found this bug.
Current state :
- I *do* have a /run/udev/ directory. removing it seems useless (gets
re-created after reboot)
- trying to /etc/init.d/udev start does *not* work : complains about a
socket that it cannot create.
- /etc/init.d/udev stop ; /etc/init.d/udev start *does* give me back
keyboard and mouse.
- I found no permanent (i. e. reboot-surviving) workaround.
FYI, what I got installed via netinst was udev 671-1.
This bug is highly annoying, and will annoy a lot of people now that it
has found its way in testing : many of us peones tend to install testing
rather than the (almost always outdated) stable distribution.
HTH,
Emmanuel Charpentier
