Hi !

Here is a report bug I posted on bugs@debian.org , we'll make it short ,
I cannot activate udev at boot , if I do this  I get IDE errors on both
harddisks and if I can enter an X-session, I cannot open a terminal : I
get following error message :
"there was a problem with the child process of this terminal" . If I
desactivate udev at boot, eveything is going O.K.
The Debian package maintainer thinks it looks like a kernel bug ....
This is why I am posting here hoping for help in this matter.

Description: /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
 udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes from
 /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time. It replaces
 the hotplug package and requires a kernel not older than 2.6.12.

II.Descritpion

If I activate udev at boot through some utility like sysvconfig or
sysvconfig I have problem with both IDE Disks
(Maxtor 80 G0 and 250 G0) , I get following error message : Drive Seek
Complete Data Request, Satus 0x 58, Drive not Ready
for command , and sometimes I cannot log into an X-session.

If I can log in, I cannot open a terminal - gnome-terminal , konsole,
xterm - I get following error message :
There was a problem with the child process of this terminal.
It is then impossible to type any command.

If I desactivate udev at boot , everything is O.K , no IDE-errors , no
problems with gnme-terminal, konsole or xterm.

Can you try the 2.6.15-rc5 kernel release to see if this is better?

I did it, but it is not better ..... but perhaps due to an upgrade on my
debian Sid it seems
that I have not so much IDE errors but this impossibility to open any
terminal is already here ...

I tried one Debian pre-packaged kernel and it works , I mean nearly no
IDE errors
and no more problems with opening gnome-terminal, so it would mean that
here is a problem
in my kernel config ??

Here is an extract of the - so mentioned in the doc - important settings :

# Pseudo filesystems
#
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
# CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is not set
# CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set
CONFIG_RAMFS=y
# CONFIG_RELAYFS_FS is not set


Where should I look to solve it definetely ??

Thanks for your answer.
