I have a 2.6.34.10-based kernel with udev-161 (also tested with udevadm from udev-173).

When I run "udevadm info --attribute-walk --path=/block/sda" it just shows the device
itself, and doesn't walk the whole chain showing the parents.

Is there anything I can do, or am I caught with a kernel that isn't properly supported?
I'm not subscribed to the hotplug list, so cc'ing me would be appreciated.

I don't know what's causing the problem, but I find it suspicious that /sys/block/sda
is a directory rather than a symlink like it is on my 2.6.35.14 laptop.  I'm poking
around in the udevadm code now.

Some possibly-useful information:

root@typhoon-base-unit0:/root> udevadm info --attribute-walk --path=/block/sda

Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

  looking at device '/block/sda':
    KERNEL=="sda"
    SUBSYSTEM=="block"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{range}=="16"
    ATTR{ext_range}=="256"
    ATTR{removable}=="0"

    ATTR{inflight}=="       0        0"
