[Bug 1154813] Re: Boot broken with initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.5b1

[Martin Pitt]

I run raring-proposed as well, and I cannot replicate this. But this
does ring a bell. We got similar reports with earlier libudev0 versions
as well, and eventually reverted an upstream commit:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
dev/ubuntu/quantal/udev/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/libudev-revert-
SOCK_NONBLOCK.patch

Unfortunately this never got debugged properly, as I never got access to
a machine which exhibits this behaviour. Also, this works just fine on
Debian, Fedora, Arch, and other distros, so I guess we have some bug in
our initramfs-tools/upstart interaction which is exhibited by using a
nonblocking socket. For now I'll apply that patch to libudev1.

Title:
  Boot broken with initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.5b1

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi

  Today I upgraded udev and initramfs-tools to version 0.103ubuntu0.5b1.

  The update of initramfs-tools seems to cause boot issues.
  As it doesn't wait long enough for /dev/by-uuid/ to come available, the boot cannot be completed.
  You get dropped into initramfs busybox.

  If you exit the busybox after some seconds, the system boots normally.

  Downgrading initramfs-tools fixes the issue.
