[Bug 802632] [NEW] udev rule doesn't create or mount /dev/shm

[Jorge O. Castro]

Public bug reported:

My system would not boot at all, just freezes when it gets to the
display manager. James Hunt debugged the laptop and asked me to file
this bug and then he would add more information.

Workaround:
Add "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel line in the grub menu.
mkdir /dev/shm
mount -t tmpfs -onosuid,nodev,noexec none /dev/shm
exec /sbin/init

Oneric up to date as of 27 June on a Thinkpad X220i

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
