[Bug 818177] Re: boot failures because 'udevadm exit' does not kill udevd worker threads

[Eduard Hasenleithner]

So, maybe we just put a

udevadm control --exit || pkill udevd || true

in the init-bottom/udev and close this bug ;)
The occasional 60s boot delay will stay, some stray udev RUN commands might remain in memory, but Oneiric is at least supposed to start properly.

Nevertheless, I'd be very interested to see what causes udevd to hang in
an non-LVM setup.

Bug description:
  After running a do-release-upgrade -d on a natty server, I'm unable to
  boot the machine properly.

  It looks like it doesn't see the local disks anymore.

  I think this looks quite a lot like the debbug linked from here:
