http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=README : - Udev will not work with the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED* option.
I've checked #302173 and it suggests to disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED, but without this option my system doesn't detect lvm root on top of md raid (already files bug #307979)
There's no reason to still try to use the deprecated sysfs interface. And all future versions will NOT work with it either ...
Unfortunately my system doesn't boot as soon as I disable this option.
(In reply to comment #4) > Unfortunately my system doesn't boot as soon as I disable this option. > So the real question here is: how exactly does it fail in such case ? I don't use lvm, but are you sure that real_root option from your other bug is still correct (shouldn't it be /dev/mapper/<something>) ?
On initrd stage no volume groups are being detected. The only file related is /dev/mapper/control and no other files in /dev/ present (no /dev/mapper/system* and no /dev/system*). If I enable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED it boots as normal. Also the vgscan command if run from initramfs debug shell shows "No volume groups found".
Could you check bug 292833 for ideas, while remembering, that the target is 'CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED not set' ?
Thanks, after emerging lvm2 with USE=static my system now boots with new udev and without CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. Too bad that original genkernel bug is still unfixed.
Hello, I have the same problem with udev version 149 (since 146-r1 which was masked by me for this reason). I tried to remove SYSFS_DEPRECATED module but the result is the same. System can't boot as expected. These are the messages I get: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found read_urandom: /dev/urandom: open failed: No such file or directory (3 times) Failed to setup LVM (I don't use LVM partitions but only RAID) Fsck errors ... couldn't find /dev/md1 mount: special device /dev/md* does not exist (for each partition couple in raid) ERROR: consolefont failed to start Couldn't open /dev/tty{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12} swapon: /dev/sda2: stat failed: No such file or directory swapon: /dev/sdb2: stat failed: No such file or directory *Starting udev ... error getting signalfd udevd[3380] error getting signalfd start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/sbin/udevd' start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found ERROR: udev failed to start ERROR: urandom failed to start read_urandom: /dev/urandom: open failed: No such file or directory (2 times) Failed to setup LVM ERROR: consolefont failed to start PRNG is not seeded ERROR: sshd failed to start {KDGKBLED: Inappropriate ioctl for device Error reading current flags settings.

@comment 9: you failed to provide much of the needed info, but "signalfd" bit may suggest you need to upgrade your kernel/glibc.
(In reply to comment #10) > @comment 9: you failed to provide much of the needed info, > but "signalfd" bit may suggest you need to upgrade your kernel/glibc. > Thank you! That was the problem actually. I compiled the CONFIG_SIGNALFD module and all worked very well.
