Package: udev
Version: 172-1
Severity: important

Hello,

Starting with udev 170 (well, IIRC!), console is flooded at startup with:

    udevd[XXX]: unable to receive ctrl connection: Function not implemented

where XXX is a number (PID?).

And system takes ~3 min. to get login prompt.

Last udev version not displaying this message was 167. However, /dev
was nearly empty.
Last fully working udev (i.e. no error message and /dev correctly
populated) was 164(-3).

This is on a Itanium (ia64/IA-64/IPF) workstation.

I didn't find much references about this problem, except
http://mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=350 on PowerPC G4.
Upgrading the kernel seems to solve the problem there.

Due to a serious issue with initramfs-tools 0.99
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638068), we're stuck
with kernel < 2.6.39 on ia64 at this time.
However, upgrading to linux-image-3.0.0-1-mckinley (generating
initramfs with initramfs-tools 0.98.8 from another running system)
didn't make the error go away.

I can try intermediate udev builds on snapshot.debian.org if helpful.

    Émeric
