Check that you have CONFIG_UNIX=y in your .config. The udev daemon
(udevd) listens on a unix domain socket. When udevd doesn't run your
hda3 device is not created in /dev which explains the later messages.
I'm not sure why udevstart would crash your system though. Do you get
a kernel oops or does it just reboot?

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.
