It works fine for me. Please try to understand what is wrong.
Please also report the content of /etc/udev/rules.d/tablet.rules.

Subject: udev: upgrade to 0.051-1 renders the system unbootable

Package: udev
Version: 0.050-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

After upgrading from 0.050-6 to 0.051-1, the system becomes unbootable.
Some devices are missing. At least /dev/console.

init: open(/dev/console): No such file or directory

then gpm failed;
Feb 5 22:20:45 tangerine-64 gpm: oops() invoked from gpm.c(971)
Feb 5 22:20:45 tangerine-64 gpm: Failed on virtual console check: No such file
or directory

I've reverted to 0.050-6 and everything went fine.

Regards

Jean-Luc

I've redone the test, it is always the same. It begin to boot and the
stops displaying anything while there is still some activity. I didnt
manage to reach my box via the network: whine I can ping it, ssh is not
working.

The latest displayed message are:

After 20 minutes or so, I decided to press the reset button :-/

> Please also report the content of /etc/udev/rules.d/tablet.rules.

I've done some tests for the wacom tablet but the file has only one
line and is commented out.

#BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="056a", SYSFS{idProduct}="0011", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="input/tablet"

But the way, if I tried to enable this line, it creates first the right
symlink but it is overwritten later with every device in /dev/inout/ to
finally stay with the latest found.

To be able to boot, I've started the system on a live CD and the
download the previous debian package fro udev (0.050-6) from
snapshot.debian.net. I've extracted the package and copied the files by
hand on the "damaged" system. Then I was able to boot.

I'm using xfs filesystems on lvm over a software raid1.

I find hard to believe that such a bug is exposed only on your system.

If udev breaks, you can disable it by disabling the init script.

Or else, add to the top of the init script:

if [ "$DISABLE_UDEV" = "yes" ]; then
  echo "udev disabled by a kernel parameter
  exit 0
fi

and you will be able to disable it by adding DISABLE_UDEV=yes to the
kernel command line.

I've to borrow an other keyboard: mine is usb and not initialised yet
at this level.

Anyway, I have got some arror message about the node for my root
filesystem (which is on lvm)

Anyway, when I've started the system with the new version of udev, I
gor the following error:

<<
The device node /dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv for the root filesystem is
missing, incorrect or there is no entry for the root filesystem in
/etc/fstab. The system is also unable to create temporary node in
/dev/shm to use as a work-around. This means that you have to fix this
manually.

I've borrowed a ps/2 to usb adapter.

When I start /init/bash then:
/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs start
and then:
/etc/init.d/udev start

I get the followinf messages:
Mounting a tmpfs over /dev... Done.
Creating inital device nodes...Done.

You will find attached the list of the created devices.

Then if I reboot, I've the same crash as before (with some data
corruption) :-/

Are you sure that what you are seeing is really a tmpfs mounted over
/dev? (Check /proc/mounts.)
udev is not supposed to create BSD-style /dev/tty[a-z]* PTY devices, so
I think that you are looking at the on-disk /dev.

udev cannot be the cause of data corruption.

OK, we see a tmpfs. But why it is read only?
I think the udev init script is correct, so I cannot explain this.

I've borrowed a ps/2 to usb adapter.

When I start /init/bash then:
/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs start
and then:
/etc/init.d/udev start

I get the followinf messages:
Mounting a tmpfs over /dev... Done.
Creating inital device nodes...Done.

You will find attached the list of the created devices.

Then if I reboot, I've the same crash as before (with some data =20
corruption) :-/

Are you sure that what you are seeing is really a tmpfs mounted over
/dev? (Check /proc/mounts.)
udev is not supposed to create BSD-style /dev/tty[a-z]* PTY devices, so
I think that you are looking at the on-disk /dev.

udev cannot be the cause of data corruption.

I've upgraded udev yesterday to 0.053-1.
I have rebooted the system several (ermmm ... many) times today and
with this version I've not the problem I've reported.

So I've downgraded to 0.051-1 and I got the problem again. Switching to
0.050-6 and no problem neither.

Then back to 0.053-1 with no problem.
