Have you added any udev rules that use watch? You should be able to grep the files...
sudo grep -ri watch /etc/udev sudo grep -ri watch /lib/udev Then comment out any watches like this one has been (from grep result) /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules:#KERNEL!="sr*", OPTIONS+="watch" after that you can re-create your initrds and should be able to boot. sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r) (you can replace the $() part with all if you want.) jh wrote 57 minutes ago: (permalink) @MichaelEvans # aptitude show udev Package: udev State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 138-2~tj~ppa2j Checked that a new initrd was generated as well.
