3.0.0-13 is the latest kernel that is booting fine. 3.0.0-14 does not, nor does 3.2RC4
However I am not extremely comfortable at opening an upstream kernel bug. The following points are unclear to me: 1) I have a strong suspicion that the issue I am running into is caused by a subtle timing issue. This suspicion is supported by the fact that other machines that I have, with a very similar configuration boot just fine. Maybe it is not that -14 is buggy, but only that it does something differently enough from -13 to alter timings, so that two events that are very closely spaced swap their order 2) It is unclear to me whether the bug is in the kernel, in udev or in lvm2. It looks like the timing relationships between the 3 is still object of investigation in Bug #802626. Specifically, it appears to me that debian derivatives run udev rules regarding lvm through watershed which is possibly a situation different from other distros. 3) It is unclear to me which upstream kernel version to report the bug against. Which upstream kernel does the ubuntu -14 correspond to? Maybe some ubuntu kernel developer could have sounder grounds to opening an upstream bug than me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902491 Title: Severe regression with latest kernel update: 3.0.0-14.23 takes an unreasonable amount of time to boot due to udev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/902491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
