Package: udev
Version: 0.074-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


udev uses unix sockets. if those not available the system end in a state
where the dev directory is empty and nothing works
rebooting to single usermode with init=/bin/bash and adding the
following line as first in the startup part of the init.d script solves
this problem.

## fixes the unix socket problem
modprobe unix

ofcourse this doesn't help when there are no unix sockets available and
the is no module.
The startup script should check for those conditions before mounting an empty
/dev partition in place.
