I just upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy RC tonight, and I still ran into this problem. My system couldn't mount any of my partitions other than / (so no /home, etc.) and I was getting errors spewing to the log file and udev stealing tons of CPU. At first I ran /etc/init.d/udev stop to get back the CPU, but couldn't mount /home at all still. Then I rebooted with my 2.6.20 kernel and that worked but of course all my special KLMs like nvidia don't run anymore since they've been recompiled.

EVMS is installed on my system, but I never installed it myself nor do I use it nor do I even know what it is. This system has been upgraded starting with Breezy, I think; it definitely had Dapper on it. In addition to evms and evms-ncurses I had libevms installed. I don't know whether the upgrade offered to remove evms or not: it offered to remove a lot of things and I said "yes" and it successfully removed them all.

I've removed evms, evms-ncurses and libevms via synaptic and rebooted and now my system comes up OK.

But, contrary to the status of this bug as "fixed released", it's definitely not fixed in Gutsy RC1.
