Hi, I upgraded three machines from Devuan ascii to Devuan beowulf. Now one of these machines has non-deterministic problems during startup that look like being related to eudev. As that machine was originally derived by cloning the hard-disk of another machine that works fine, I suspect this issue is not a general configuration problem that I caused.
That machine previously worked flawlessly with Devuan ASCII. The symptoms are as follows: This happens around half the times I reboot the machine. In the other half of the cases everything works as usual. However, if it fails, this happens: - during startup, the LVM init.d-script hangs for a very long time repeatedly outputting errors of the form WARNING: Device /dev/xxx not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds. - none of the alsa sound driver modules is loaded during boot, so I end up with a Desktop that does not support audio - the amdgpu module is not loaded, so not 3-D acceleration Comparing dmesg output between successful startup and failed startup, the following markedly differs: In both cases, the line 'udevd[558]: starting eudev-3.2.7' appears twice in the dmesg output. Differences happen after the second time it is printed. In the "failed boot" case it merely outputs xxxx udevd[558]: starting eudev-3.2.7 xxxx lp: driver loaded but no devices found xxxx ppdev: user-space parallel port driver In the succesful case it outputs a whole lot of ACPI-related stuff and loads the sound-related modules: xxxx udevd[560]: starting eudev-3.2.7 xxxx acpi_cpufreq: overriding BIOS provided _PSD data xxxx input: Power Button as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0C0C:00/input/input6 xxxx ACPI: Power Button [PWRB] xxxx input: Power Button as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input7 xxxx ACPI: Power Button [PWRF] xxxx ACPI: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) xxxx acpi device:00: registered as cooling_device4 xxxx input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input8 xxxx sp5100_tco: SP5100/SB800 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver xxxx sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Using 0xfeb00000 for watchdog MMIO address xxxx sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: initialized. heartbeat=60 sec (nowayout=0) [..] xxxx input: PC Speaker as /devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input9 xxxx udevd[626]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/mtp-probe' 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/usb2/2-3 2 3': No such file or directory [..] xxxx ACPI Error: Needed [Buffer/String/Package], found [Integer] 000000003089d4ef (20180810/exresop-560) [..] xxxx snd_hda_intel 0000:00:01.1: Force to non-snoop mode xxxx kvm: disabled by bios xxxx MCE: In-kernel MCE decoding enabled. xxxx input: HDA ATI HDMI HDMI/DP,pcm=3 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/sound/card0/input11 [..] Any ideas what is happening here and how to workaround it? Or any ideas how to further diagnose this problem? Thanks for any help, cheers, David _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
