Not sure this is a bug.

The error:
Setting up udev (204-5ubuntu20.7) ...
 * udev requires hotplug support, not started
   ...fail!

occurs in /etc/init.d/udev when the script checks for the existence of
"/sys/kernel/uevent_helper" which does't exist unless the config option
"CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER" was set at kernel compile time.  (Open the
.config file, search for CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER and set it to "y".  Save
the .config file and recompile the kernel and boot it. The above error
should not occur. )

If recompiling your kernel is not an option, suggest the following workaround:
edit /etc/init.d/udev
comment out the following lines (at approx line 128-131):
if [ ! -e /sys/kernel/uevent_helper ]; then
  log_failure_msg "udev requires hotplug support, not started"
  log_end_msg 1
fi

The script should then run without error.
