82063a88d1fbcceade7e0475ebef2fc69fa5fa87 is the first bad commit commit 82063a88d1fbcceade7e0475ebef2fc69fa5fa87 Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 18 02:14:24 2011 +0200 udevd: ppoll() -> epoll + signalfd :100644 100644 c09613313155991315c83aa4db823257c263dd84 80d50860106aa7db13e7e9d1eb156c28938adac7 M TODO :040000 040000 c92d63f81c3745ca0524c39eecfdcbc5f88a1816 c841597a4a3ca4dc6cdf30eaa86fff7e638de978 M udev This commit is causing udevadm settle to get stuck while booting off a Sabayon LiveCD with both 2.6.38/.39 (does it matter?). The race doesn't happen after install, nor when I enable udev.log-priority=8. It happens (roughly) with a probability of 0.95. The error is: udevadm settle - timeout of 60 seconds reached, the event queue contains: /sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptys2 (2298) /sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyua (2338) git bisect doesn't lie ;-), of course. -- Fabio Erculiani -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
