Package: kernel
Severity: normal

  APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

on a sis chipset computer, the new udev hangs during boot time giving 
errors regarding usb . No way to boot and with acpi=off option on I get 
to boot but both usb devices and ps3 port are unusable. I can command 
only via a ps2 keyboard. I contacted udev team but they say it's a 
driver-kernel problem. The only way to use computer is deinstall the new 
udev anfd use old hotplug. everything goes ok then. I use etch but I 
tried even the new kernel in sid.same results but now even hotplug gives 
problems.
