My problem continues: an endlessly repeated chant of "hde:hde1"
interspersed with an occasional "hdb:hdb4." I can't figure out the
cause, and would be grateful for insight or a lead.
My ThinkPad A31 runs an up-to-date Sid (including the latest 012-4
pcmciautils) on a homemade 2.6.15 from Debian sources. The chant stops
when udev stops, and goes if I downgrade udev to 0.079-1. Here's a
generous fragment of dmesg during which the problem starts:

With versions of udev higher than 079-1, after stopping udev,
/etc/init.d/udev start stalls at
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...
Sincerest TIA for any suggestions.
