This bug still exists in the latest unstable version of udev on my system. At boot time, it gives the following output (transcribed from a photo taken with my cellphone camera):
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevdudevd[435]: error: directory '/run/udev/ not writable, for now falling back to '/dev/.udev/' udevd[435]: bind failed: Address already in use error binding udev control socket udevd[435]: error binding control socket failed! If I boot to maintenance mode and log in with the root password, then manually stop and restart udev it functions and boots up correctly, however. -- Rens Houben | opinions are mine Resident linux guru and sysadmin | if my employers have one Systemec Internet Services. |they'll tell you themselves PGP key at http://proteus.systemec.nl/~shadur/shadur.key.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
