Bug#790560: udev fails to start on sparc boot, breaking boot

[Artyom Tarasenko]

 That's what I see in the strace log:

rt_sigaction(SIGRT_1, {0xfffff801006c6c40, [], SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO},
NULL, 0xfffff801006d2098, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [RTMIN RT_1], NULL, 8) = 0

read(3, "nodev\tsysfs\nnodev\trootfs\nnodev\tb"..., 1024) = 299
read(3, "", 1024)                       = 0

echo ...}) = 0
access("/proc/vz", F_OK)                = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
writev(2, [{"ine, ignoring: Invalid argument", 31}, {"u", 1}], 2ine,
ignoring: Invalid argumentu) = 32
getuid()                                = 0
sched_getaffinity(0, 128, {1})          = 8
chdir("/: %m")                          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
writev(2, [{"/dev", 4}, {"u", 1}], 2/devu)   = 5
exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

Note the corruption in writev(2, [{"ine, ignoring: Invalid argument",
31}, {"u", 1}], 2ine, ignoring: Invalid argumentu).

The things seem to go astray after failing to find /proc/vz
and it's really not there:

# ls /proc/v*
/proc/version  /proc/vmallocinfo  /proc/vmstat
#  uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-4-sparc64 #1 Debian 3.2.65-1 sparc64 GNU/Linux
