Hi all,
last tuesday there was a release of mer core, so, now obs build against it.

unfortunately it seems to break the x86 generic adaption, live usb images 
won't boot correctly anymore, this is due to the merge of udev inside systemd 
(i think)

this means the next auto generated plasma active devel images won't work


the devices under /dev won't be created, so it's unable to mount the root 
filesystem and finish the boot.

iirc there was some work on a fix at
https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Asage%3Amer%3Ax86-fix

unfortunately doesn't seem to work, it still can't create the devices.
during the image creation it was also still complaining of some not found 
exectuables, suck as insmod, modprobe etc.
i fixed that in a branch there
https://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=mkinitrd&project=home%3Amart%3Abranches%3Ahome%3Asage%3Amer%3Ax86-
fix

but the main problem still persists. does anybody have any idea about it?

Cheers, 
Marco Martin
