My computer hangs on bootup if I build my initramfs with a version of udev higher than 163. I've obtained a boot log by using the serial console and uploaded the results here:
Successful boot: http://pastebin.com/UUEHqjge Failed boot: http://pastebin.com/ZEp1ni3Z
The only difference between the two cases is the version of udev used to build the initramfs - both kernel images are the same. If I boot an initramfs that uses an old version of udev but then have a newer version installed in the OS it does not cause any problems.
I've been working around this problem for a long time first by temporarily downgrading udev each time I needed to build a new initramfs and later by building kernel images that didn't need modules to boot so that I could keep using the same initramfs across kernel upgrades. Now that I have a working serial console to capture the boot sequence I'd like to see if there's any information I can provide that would enable the problem to be fixed the right way.
