Description of problem: After updating to udev-113-3.fc8, external disk drives cannot be mounted, the device nodes were not created. Downgrading to udev-113-2.fc8 make things work again. My two internal disk (one SATA and the other IDE disk) were of course mounted fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):udev-113-3.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
does it work if you add "nomcollect" to the kernel command line with udev-113-3.fc8 ??
btw, which kind of external drive is this? USB?
if booting with nomcollect does not work, try to change the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/05-udev-early.rules from: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pnp", ATTR{id}=="?*", RUN+="modprobe_helper pnp:d$attr{id}" to: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pnp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'while read id; do /sbin/modprobe pnp:d$$id; done < /sys/$devpath/id'" and see if that works.
Booting with 'nomcollect' works. Yes, it's a USB drive, but also has a firewire interface. I have the same issue (booting without nomcollect) if I connect through the firewire interface.
Issue fixed in udev-113-4.fc8 (without needing to boot with nomcollect). Thanks.
