Bug#633343: Bug#633441: Lost keyboard - workaround found --> calling udevadm trigger



tag 633441 + unreproducible
tag 633343 + unreproducible
thanks

Hello,
I finally managed to boot into an early shell as described in the
documentation for udev (see below for how to achive this with grub2)
just to see - nothing. I then commented out the udevadm trigger
command, and the keyboard still works after the reboot in X. Even
after cold reboot. Even if I remove the execution bits from
/etc/rc.local. Even after a few days. Thus I cannot reproduce this bug
any longer. Maybe because of a self compiled kernel, maybe because
some other changes in /etc (I'm in the middle of setting it up,
alias).

Thanks for all the help. In case this occurs again, I now know how to
debug it and will open a new bug (if you want to close these ones).

Here is how to achive the early shell with grub2:
Add the following to /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/bin/bash"
and run "update-grub" afterwards. After next boot you obtain the
desired shell. Maybe this could be added to the information provided
for udev already.

Greetings

             Helge
