you might try to boot with "modprobedebug" added to the kernel command line This issue turned out to be unrelated to the operating system, as I discovered several days ago that I had a flaky dimm, acting up in ways never before seen by me. Ended up the system died as a result, that's how I figured out what was going on. I have since swapped out all ram, re-installed and tested extensively. Problem has not reoccurred, and I am certain it was hardware related. Bug report can be safely closed. |
Created attachment 328024 [details] kernel dump of GPF Description of problem: About one out of every three boots udev takes a very long time to initialize followed by general protection fault, don't know for sure if this is a kernel or udev related issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: One of every three boots or so. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine and cross fingers. 2. 3. Actual results: High likelihood of GPF then lock-up. Expected results: Normal boot. Additional info: I tend to think this is likely related to udevadm as it keeps appearing in the crash dumps.
