<div>I finally tracked it down to some changes that were added to the sysctl to keep the OOM killer at bay.</div>

<div>The offending lines were:</div>
<div>vm.overcommit_memory=2</div>
<div>vm.overcommit_ratio=0</div>

<div>I am using the 2.6.22.5-76 kernel. When I try and use the 2.6.22.1-41 kernel, I get the same result even though the 2.6.22.1-41 kernel has worked on those machines in the past.</div>

<div>I am using udev-113.12. I get the same result if I roll back to udev-113.11.</div>

<div>Booting into single user mode also fails. It gets stuck in the same spot.</div>

<div>Any ideas?</div>
