Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
I'm afraid I don't have very much to go on here, and I don't know whether I'll be able to reproduce this. I was attempting to resize a partition in a current Karmic server CD, and noticed that it seemed to be taking an unusually long time; on investigation this turned out to be because 'udevadm settle' was timing out, which in turn was because udevd didn't actually appear to be listening on the /org/kernel/
Looking back in the logs, I see that udevd actually died before I got as far as partitioning - that was just the first point when I noticed. I've attached the syslog in the hope that you might be able to do something with it.

That's the interesting bit, the remaining udevd processes are just workers left over after the crash.
