But the /etc/dev.d/default/ directory exists and is empty. Changing it's name allows udev_run_devd to complete but something, not visible with 'ps -elf' is running rogue, and eventually crashed the system. Another data point is that if I remove the device before unloading the driver, everything cleans up nicely. I suspect that this is because there are no endpoints to re-attach. The spin is probably triggered by an 'add' event of subsystem type 'usb_endpoint' going through the hotplug rules. I tried adding 'usb_endpoint' to the hotplug rules but ended up with 3 rogue pam processes instead of /udev_run_devd./ Thanks for taking the time to look into this Greg Kay Sievers wrote: > On 5/11/07, Greg Huber wrote: >> /etc is a standard ext3 filesystem, included on root. > > Hmm, that failure sounds really weird.
