Bug Description
The 3.0.0-16 kernel is unable to boot due to udevadm hanging. I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, but when i try to boot ubuntu, it drops to BusyBox complaining about giving up waiting on the root device. ls /dev shows that the device file for my hard drive is not there. Adding "rootdelay=300" to the boot arguments allows my hard drive to be seen after approximately 4 minutes and the boot can continue fine. An inspection of /var/log/syslog shows that the udevadm task is being "blocked" at boot for a long time (see attachment). It seems to be related to ACPI as "acpi=off" allows me to boot normally, however any other acpi boot options, such as acpi=ht, acpi=noirq, and so forth do not fix the problem, and udevadm still hangs.

Do you know if this issue happened in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new issue?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.3 kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text.
If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream- KERNEL- VERSION' . For example, if kernel version 3.3-rc2 fixed the issue, the tag would be: 'kernel- fixed-upstream- v3.3-rc2' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' .
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.
