Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97.2
Severity: important

Recentl my system has stopped booting.

I have two MD raid arrays with LVM on top of them. Each LVM volume (including root and swap) are encrypted, so obviously initramfs has to deal with them on boot.
Several weeks ago system stop booting:
1. First, I see a lot of message like show here http://imagebin.ca/view/eL-M9KQz.html.
2. Then I get password prompt to entery passphrase for a new volume.
3. After that nothing happens any more.

Debugging shows that udevd behaves wierdly by endlessly spawning multiple children. I've made a workaound by killing udevd and restarting it in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot

With "spawning multiple children" you mean udevd processes?

Do you have any adjusted/3rd party/... scripts/hooks inside
/usr/share/initramfs-tools?
