On one of my computers the new 3.4.0-9 fails to boot.

Part way through the boot what looks like a backtrace is shown.
About a minute later udevd starts complaining about timeouts repeatedly until i press the power button to turn of the computer.

Nothing shows up in my log files when I reboot with the 3.4.0-8 kernel from the failed 3.4.0-9 boot.

How would I get a copy of the boot error since I never get to the point where I can interact with anything.

Any ideas on this?
The second build of the 3.4.0-9 kernel made it so that it sometimes boots but most of the time it does not.
The error I see has not changed.

I got some pictures of the udevd error this time.
Do you want to see them?

They are sill in RAW format out of my camera so I need to convert them to something else before I upload them.
I will post them once I have done that.

and I hope nothing useful is found but just in case you have something new in your boot up scripts can you post the output to this pls

:: Code ::

ls /etc/rcS.d/
ls /etc/rc5.d/


these can be changed from within smxi or once booted with package called bum or sysv-rc-conf

Here is the picture I got. I missed the backtrace this time I will be sure to get it the next time it happens.

The udevd line repeats endlessly the other lines only happen once.

I am not an expert so will sneak away shortly, but your image raises one question in my puny mind

how many devices ...hard drives ..usb sticks....usb devices do you have connected?

/dev/sdk seems high....but I am a home user and it looks like you have a server?

Yes it is a NFS server.
I turned my old computer into a media server when I built my new one.

I also have a lot of conkys running on it monitoring various things since it is 1 foot from my new computer.

Right now I have 1 SSD, 9 HDD, and 1 DVD Drive hooked up to it.
The SSD, 1 HDD, and the DVD Drive are attached directly to the motherboard.
3 of the HDD's are in external cases connected to the motherboard by eSATA to SATA cables.
The other 5 HDD's are in a five bay enclosure hooked up to a eSATA port multiplier card.

I only have my UPS and a keyboard hooked up by USB.

I have 3 backup HDD's that are not connected because I don't need then.

I also have 4 HDD in another eSATA enclosure that were in RAID5 when I used Windows that I have not setup in linux yet.
I have all the data backed up to do it but I need to figure out how to give each drive a /dev/### name based on it's serial number using udev rules before I can do that.
Otherwise the array will get screwed up because the eSATA port multiplier cards don't present the HDD's to the kernel in the same order every time so their /dev/### names are randomized.
