Hi group,

After running make menuconfig 4x on a PIII,
re-emerging --emptytree world and either booting to a
highly unstable system or a maintenance login I feel
it's time to call on the authorities.

Don't even have gpm so I can't scroll the choice bits
of the boot messages.

It all starts to fall apart on the following line in
the boot console

* Starting udev...

then

udevd[367]: init_udevd socket: error getting socket:
Address family not supported by protocol
error initializing udevd socket
udevd[367]: main: error initializing udevd socket [!!]
<...>
* Checking root filesystem...
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda3': No such file or
directory

* Filesystem couldn't be fe fixed :(              [!!]
Give root password for maintenance

/dev/hda3 is reiserfs and reiserfs support is
configured into the kernel as is ATA and IDE support.
/etc/fstab is the same one(modified for different
partitioning systems, of course) I've been using for
years. /etc/fstab is not the problem.

Yes, I did this:

File systems --->
  Pseudo filesystems --->
    [*] /proc file system support
    [*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm
fs)

And have baselayout-1.12.9.

When I chroot from the livecd(2005.1) everything seems
to work; the modules all load, the software works etc.

So, I'm at a complete loss.

FWIW, when I do boot the maintenance console and run
udevstart the system crashes forcing a reset.
