With 2.6.30-rc2 I face a kernel crash on the 32bit hppa architecture
due to ide-cd when udev creates the device nodes at startup:

This crash seems to happen due to an uninitialized variable "rc".
The compiler even warns about that:
CC drivers/ide/ide-cd.o
/mnt/sda4/home/cvs/parisc/git-kernel/linus-linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c: In function `cdrom_newpc_intr':
/mnt/sda4/home/cvs/parisc/git-kernel/linus-linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:612: warning: `rc' might be used uninitialized in this function
After applying the trivial patch below, which just initializes
the variable to zero, the kernel doesn't crash any longer:
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.
Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...
