To echo davebb, I just downloaded the ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso (md5: f8a0112b7cb5dcd6d564dbe59f18c35f) on 11/23/2011 and had this problem on two different systems. One was a Sun x4100 (AMD 8354, nvidia chipset, no LVM) and one was a Supermicro Intel box, no LVM.
In both cases the systems printed out a large number of the 'udev[90]: timeout: killing ' messages and then froze. The console didn't come up for over 45 minutes. I have left it running to see if the host ever comes up. I see the fix is listed for oneiric updates. These errors happened for me on the first boot after an install and the machines don't finish booting. How can I get access to the fix during the install process? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818177 Title: boot failures because 'udevadm exit' times out while udevd waits for an already-dead thread To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/818177/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
