[Bug 727762] New: 'Starting udev...' takes ages
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727762 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727762#c0 Summary: 'Starting udev...' takes ages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zoz@suse.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- After copying the installation kernel and initrd from 12.1 RC1 to my lokal disk I booted into this kernel/initrd. At first it looked if the installation stopped at 'Starting udev...'. But while I started to write this bug report the installation proceeded. Nevertheless 'Starting udev...' took about 10 to 15 minutes with no signs of life (also on other consoles). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Did you really copy the initrd from the 12.1 tree? Please recreate it with mkinitrd and try again... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I unpacked the network install CD image and took kernel and initrd from there. (There is no dvd/cd drive available, it's a Lenovo ideapad S12) How do I create the installation initrd? Especially without a running 12.1? BTW: Where is the public 12.1 RC1 repo to install from? I finally installed from /dist/install/SLP/... (What I was trying to avoid at first hand). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I noticed that there are repeatedly 'udevadm settle --timeout=20' calls. These are child processes from 'y2base installation'. Each one seems to time out and not finish earlier. BTW: is it normal to have 21 udevd processes? 20 childs of the first one. Then I choosed to do an update. When 'Searching for available systems'. This happens again. Many subsequent udevadm settle which all time out after 20 secs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Or something else? This sounds like the well-known systemd issue, not a udev one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I did a network install /dist/install/SLP/openSUSE-12.1-RC1 with the right installation kernel and initrd. This should also be "clean". I have no idea of well-known systemd issues, because I did not install 12.1 Milestones or Factory for a longer period. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Further this does not happen always. I have to boot about 5 times to reproduce the problem. As soon as installation system was loaded and there are usable shells available I played around a bit with the system: - manually called 'udevadm settle --timeout=10' returned after 10 seconds and listed several unhandled (running? handing? cannot remember exactly) events. - calling 'udevadm trigger' leaves a quite bigger list of hanging events, all related to my local disk. - unfortunately I did not see all debug output of udev even after calling 'udevadm control --log-priority=0', because stderr of all running udevd was redirected to /dev/null. - Steffen made me a initrd with udevd --debug and all output redirected into a file. But with that initrd I could not reproduce the problem at all. I will try again with rc2. To make clear waht exactly I'm going to boot: niamey:~ # mount /mounts/dist/install/openSUSE-12.1-RC2/iso/openSUSE-NET-Build0025-i586.iso /tmp/rc2-iso niamey:~ # cp /tmp/rc2-iso/boot/i386/loader/linux /boot/linux-121rc2 niamey:~ # cp /tmp/rc2-iso/boot/i386/loader/initrd /boot/initrd-121rc2 niamey:~ # sed -n 9,14p /boot/grub/menu.lst title Install -- openSUSE 12.1 RC2 root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/linux-121rc2 splash=verbose showopts vga=0x361 install=slp initrd /boot/initrd-121rc2 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
