[Bug 1516650] [NEW] mountall waits for non-existent /dev/root

 

Public bug reported:

The Trusty system runs on Jetson TK1 (architecture is armhf). It has no
initrd and fstab. The root filesystem is squashfs and hence is not
writable. mountall hangs during boot and says "The drive for / is not
ready ... Press ..". If I press M and enter the root password I am able
to log in and see that the root filesystem is mounted and everything
looks OK. With --debug flag I've found that mountall waits for /dev/root
to appear. But there is no /dev/root even after the system has come up
(if I press "S" to skip). The issue is that mountall creates
/dev/.udev/rules.d/root.rules but the Trusty version of UDEV doesn't
read rules from /dev/.udev/rules.d and will never create /dev/root
