Comment 53 for bug 332270

Have you added any udev rules that use watch? You should be able to grep the files...

sudo grep -ri watch /etc/udev
sudo grep -ri watch /lib/udev

Then comment out any watches like this one has been (from grep result)
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules:#KERNEL!="sr*", OPTIONS+="watch"

after that you can re-create your initrds and should be able to boot.

sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)
(you can replace the $() part with all if you want.)

# aptitude show udev
Package: udev
State: installed
Automatically installed: no

Checked that a new initrd was generated as well.

Still broken as reported.
