I disabled digests for now.) Scott, thanks for your suggestion. I followed it, changed more settings just for testing, and still can't get it to work without these errors. So I tried to build a kernel, same version and same config on a different distribution, this time I chose AlpineLinux. And lo, the errors are not occurring there. This makes me suspicious about Archlinux's udev version and/or methods, but the question about why their own kernel doesn't have these issues remains. What to try next? Where to look? -- Stay in touch, Mark van Dijk. ,------------------------------------ -------------------------------' Sun Aug 12 15:21 UTC 2012 Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 5th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3178 Celebrate Zaraday
