Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, udev 175-2 segfaults at boot.  udev
175-3 does _not_ segfault, but the boot fails in some way unless you
add processor.nocst=1 to the kernel command line.  Which is already
weird, since the only advertised changes in 175-3 were a fix to the
systemd service file and a fix to udev rules for Xen support.  Based
on the kernel log you sent, you are not using systemd, and I assume
you're not using Xen.

This is on the machine with a D865GBF motherboard.

Anyway, you were able to take advantage of this situation to get an acpidump.

Are these results reproducible?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
