Bug#341014: broken with udev 0.76

[Heikki Henriksen <heikkih@gmail.com>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.40
Severity: grave

udev 0.76 failed to queue events correctly and didn't populate /dev at
all using initramfs-tools. I only got a /dev/.udev/failed.

No devices in /dev lead to failure to find root and no boot.

To get up and running again I had to build a new initrd on a remote
system and copy it over using a live-cd.

yaird seems to have no problems with the same kernel (2.6.14-2-k7) and
udev (0.76-2)

cheers
