Package: udev
Version: 166-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


udev 164 worked fine on my system with both 2.6.32 Debian package and custom
2.6.38-rc-something. Upgrading Debian unstable to udev 166 and linux
2.6.37-2-parisc64-smp breaks the boot with both Debian 2.6.37 and custom
kernels that worked before.

strace shows the problem to be
socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 15) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

This looks a fine socket call and SOCK_CLOEXEC should not be a problem with
current kernels but for some reason udev still fails with it.

Not being able to start udev makes the whole boot fail because different
services depend on /dev nodes, fsck among them.

Trying to start udev from command line after failed boot still fails but I got
a strace from it.

cat /proc/net/netlink shows several users of netlink but lsof shows no 
userspace users.
