Yes, just verified it on my second machine. udev apparently tries to run
stuff located in '/lib/udev/', and it doesn't find it. I have 3745
udevd_events written to the console during boot regarding this :( It
seems the system isn't hurting from it though, everything's working fine
AFAICT :)

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

"Sendmail" and "make" are two well known programs that are pretty widely
regarded as being debugged into existence. That's why their command
languages are so poorly thought out and difficult to learn.  It's not
just you -- everyone finds them troublesome.
