Are you using LVM?
Yes. I do have filter = [ "a|/dev/hde|", "a|/dev/hdg|", "r|.*|" ] in my /etc/lvm/lvm.conf if you mean this.
Well, this sounds like misconfigured LVM. I cannot test this, I have lvm2 setup but the server has no CDROM.
But lvm2 was not updated and I didn't modify the config file either.
post the exact boot output
* Mounting proc at /proc * Mounting sysfs at /sys * Mounting /dev for udev * Configuring system to use udev * Populating /dev with device nodes cdrom: open failed cdrom: open failed * Setting /sbin/udevsend as hotplug agent
so which of these triggers that error ? tar -jxpf /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 -C /dev cd /dev ; /sbin/udevstart /sbin/dmsetup mknodes /sbin/lvm vgscan -P --mknodes --ignorelockingfailure
I saw the same error message when I upgraded from udev-064-r1 to 065 (on two x86 boxes) Also, when I tried to play a DVD in mplayer or xine I got an error message about "could not find dev/dvd". I checked /dev and /dev/dvd was there and appeared to be linked properly. Just downgrading to udev-064-r1 made everything work OK again. I do not use LVM.
Should be fixed in 066 release.
