[SOLVED] udevd freeze if emerge world update nss_ldap

Hi all,

Yesterday, I updated my system with an emerge --deep --update --newuse world + etc-update (after an emerge --sync). I noticed that the hotplug with php5 packages were rebuilt (unfornutaly I have no trace, and I don't remember the version of each package, I guess that they are the latest).

Since, I'm not able to restart my system, it freezes on udev (just after hotplug); I can break it with CTRL+C, the system does more stuff and freezes again on clean /temp. If I break on this, then I have critical boot fail message and "the emergency prompt" (press CTRL+D to reboot or root password for maintenance).

Does anybody have an idea on what is going wrong ?

(I think that I will boot on gentoo install USB key (2006.0), then mount my root partition & remerge genkernel, kernel, baselayout, coreutils, hotplug-base, hotplug).

My system: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ / 512 RAM / 2 x 250Go SATA RAID 1 / SHUTTLE SK43G

Thanks for your help.

P.S. The hdd are OK.

Hi,

I've found the issue; during the emerge update world the nss_ldap package was also updated. There is a issue in udev for name & group resolution.
